About Us:
The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it. MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursue our mission at MSK and around the globe.
The Department of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated physician with training in Pulmonary Medicine for an academic clinician faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Attending rank. This role is focused on onco-pulmonology and the clinical care of patients with cancer who develop pulmonary complications related to malignancy, cancer therapy, immune-based treatments, transplantation, infection, and underlying chronic lung disease. The Pulmonary Service provides specialized expertise in Onco-Pulmonary and General Pulmonary Medicine, with an emphasis on longitudinal, multidisciplinary oncologic care; management of immunocompromised hosts; evaluation and treatment of drug-induced and radiation-induced pneumonitis; pulmonary complications of cellular therapy and stem cell transplantation; peri-operative pulmonary risk assessment; and chronic lung diseases including COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary nodules, and chronic cough.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help grow MSK’s multidisciplinary immune-related adverse event (IRAE) program, with a particular focus on pulmonary toxicities from immune checkpoint inhibitors and other novel cancer therapies. The position includes robust clinical and research opportunities to build collaborative programs across the Department of Medicine, including partnerships with solid tumor oncology, hematologic malignancies, subspecialty medicine, radiology, pathology, infectious diseases, rheumatology, dermatology, cardiology, critical care, and supportive care. We are particularly interested in candidates who wish to expand clinical research and clinical trials focused on pulmonary toxicities, IRAEs, and multidisciplinary models of care for patients receiving advanced oncologic therapies.
Pulmonary hosts two fellowships, one in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine and the other in Interventional Pulmonology and collaborate with an integrated Pulmonary APP inpatient team. The Pulmonary research portfolio continues to expand in breadth, with active publications, new prospective clinical trials and external funding.
The largest of MSK’s clinical departments, the Department of Medicine (DoM) encompasses experts in solid tumor oncology, hematologic malignancies, subspecialty medicine and supportive and acute care services. Offering a range of services both in multiple sites in New York City and at their suburban outpatient locations in our Regional Care Network (RCN), DoM physicians oversee the care of the whole patient. The RCN serves the areas surrounding Manhattan and extends from Southern New Jersey to Eastern Long Island and brings the same high level of expertise, clinical care, and access to clinical trial protocols that are available at our main campus in New York City.
The ideal candidate should be Board Eligible/Board Certified in Pulmonary Medicine and have a strong interest in the multidisciplinary management of patients with cancer, including immunocompromised patients and those with pulmonary complications of oncologic therapies. Candidates should demonstrate excellence in clinical care, a commitment to academic medicine, and the ability to work in a cohesive, dynamic team environment. Experience or interest in clinical research, clinical trials, program development, and collaborative investigation in pulmonary toxicities and IRAEs is highly desirable.

Pulmonary Physician Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pulmonary physician in New York?
Becoming a pulmonary physician in New York requires completing medical school, an internal medicine residency, and a two- to three-year accredited pulmonary and critical care medicine fellowship, followed by obtaining an active New York State medical license through the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions. Candidates must also pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination steps and pursue board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine before most New York systems will credential them for independent practice.
How much do pulmonary physicians make in New York?
Pulmonary physicians in New York earn a median of about $242,500 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $86,250 for the lowest 10% to over $414,440 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pulmonary physicians in New York?
Employers hiring pulmonary physicians in New York right now include PHYSICIAN AFFILIATE GROUP OF NEW YORK, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and 123 Medical Group PC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New York's density of academic medical centers and large integrated health systems means openings frequently appear at institutions that combine clinical practice with research and teaching responsibilities.
Which New York cities have the most pulmonary physician jobs?
The cities with the most pulmonary physician openings in New York are Bronx, New York, and Newark. New York City dominates because of the concentration of major academic medical centers and tertiary care hospitals in Manhattan and the outer boroughs, while Buffalo and Rochester reflect the large regional health systems, including ECMC and University of Rochester Medical Center, that serve those upstate metropolitan areas.
Are there remote pulmonary physician jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Pulmonary medicine is a hands-on specialty requiring in-person procedures, bedside critical care, and direct patient evaluation, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 25% of pulmonary physician openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in telemedicine follow-up, utilization management, or physician advisory services rather than primary clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a pulmonary physician in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your fellowship and applying directly to the academic medical centers and large health systems in New York City, Buffalo, or Rochester that routinely recruit new attendings, including Northwell Health, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Montefiore, which run structured onboarding programs for early-career physicians. Applying for locum tenens positions through hospital credentialing offices is another way to build a New York practice record quickly, and obtaining your New York State medical license and DEA registration before your fellowship ends gives you a clear edge over candidates who delay credentialing.
Where can I find and apply to pulmonary physician jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to pulmonary physician jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to New York locations. Find roles that match your specialty focus and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
