Careers in the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis

DCTD takes prospective detection and treatment leads and facilitates their paths to clinical application. It expedites the initial and subsequent large-scale testing of new agents, biomarkers, imaging tests, and other therapeutic interventions (radiation, surgery, immunotherapy) in patients. 

The division has nine major programs that work together to bring unique molecules, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic interventions from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside. Job opportunities in these programs are detailed below. For additional information on DCTD and our career opportunities, follow our division’s LinkedIn page. 


In accordance with the Federal Civilian Hiring Freeze Executive Order, dated January 20, 2025, which is effective immediately, we have been informed that all recruitment activities must cease.
