The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore is looking to employ two full-time pathologists with subspecialty interests in gynaecological pathology, breast pathology, cytology or any combination of the aforementioned areas. These are permanent positions affording the successful candidates the opportunity to work in a dynamic, friendly and supportive department.
The successful candidate will have medical and specialist pathology qualifications registrable with the Singapore Medical Council (www.healthprofessionals.gov.sg/smc/becoming-a-registereddoctor).
The ideal candidate will have completed a subspecialty fellowship in gynaecologic and/or breast pathology or have had a distinguished career as a gynaecological and breast pathologist.
The successful candidate will be eligible for an adjunct or regular academic appointment at Duke-NUS Medical School at the assistant, associate or full professor rank. The gynaecological, breast pathology and cytology services have six pathologists responsible for providing a comprehensive clinical service comprising gynaecological and breast surgical pathology, frozen section cover, cytology and multidisciplinary meetings. The role of the successful candidate can be primarily clinical with a component of education or research responsibilities in accordance to the candidate’s preferences and aptitude. However, an academically-inclined candidate with a strong track record of research achievements in the fields of gynaecological or breast pathology as evidenced by outstanding peer-reviewed publications in top-tier scientific journals and a significant record of success in obtaining competitive research grants, and who is committed to furthering his/her research career, will receive prioritized consideration for this position.
The department has modern and efficient facilities including a large repertoire of immunohistochemical stains and integrated molecular diagnostics. The department receives the largest and most extensive case-mix of gynaecological specimens in Singapore. The department is an integral part of the larger SingHealth Duke-NUS Pathology Academic Clinical Programme.
