Job Description
The Department of Pathology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital seeks a faculty member with expertise in computational pathology at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Member, commensurate with experience. The Department has made substantial investment in computational pathology infrastructure within the Division of Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology, and this recruitment reflects a strategic commitment to extend that capacity across the clinical pathology and laboratory medicine enterprise.
The successful candidate will bring deep clinical expertise in one or more clinical pathology subspecialties, along with a demonstrated record of applying computational, AI, and machine learning (ML) approaches to diagnostic and operational problems in the clinical laboratory, or a clearly articulated trajectory toward such work. Strong subject matter expertise is considered prerequisite to meaningful implementation of AI-enabled solutions in this domain, and candidates will be evaluated accordingly.
The position is on the Clinical or Clinician Scientist faculty track. Professional effort will be distributed approximately as follows: clinical service not to exceed 50%, approximately 25% for protected independent academic effort devoted to scholarship, research, and mentorship, and approximately 25% directed towards computational pathology development, validation, and implementation.
The successful candidate will lead the development and clinical deployment of computational and AI-enabled solutions across clinical pathology operations, working in close collaboration with subject matter experts across clinical pathology, institutional Data Sciences teams and the existing computational pathology group in the Division of Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology.
Responsibilities include translating clinical and operational problems into analytically tractable applications, contributing to data governance and sustainable deployment of AI tools within clinical systems, and building a program of scholarship appropriate to rank.
Areas of clinical expertise may include molecular diagnostics, hematopathology, clinical laboratory hematology, and flow cytometry analytics, transfusion medicine, clinical microbiology, and clinical chemistry. Computational focus may be on diagnostics, prognostication, image analysis, multidisciplinary data synthesis, laboratory utilization management, and/or quality analytics, among other areas.
Requirements:
MD or DO degree required
Candidates must hold board certification in Clinical Pathology, or in both Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, and must be board-certified or board-eligible in subspecialties appropriate to the proposed scope of clinical service. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in computational pathology, AI/ML, or a closely related field, with preference for those who have contributed to the development or clinical validation of computational tools in a laboratory medicine or translational setting. An unrestricted medical license to practice in the State of Tennessee, or eligibility for such licensure at the time of hire, is required.
Applicants should submit a letter of application, an academic statement, a curriculum vitae, and the names of three referees directly online.

Senior Level Speech Language Pathology Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level speech language pathology job?
Employers hiring at the senior level look for clinicians who own outcomes, not just execute tasks. Demonstrating a history of leading complex cases, developing clinical protocols, or mentoring other speech language pathologists signals readiness. Specialization in areas like dysphagia, augmentative communication, or acquired neurological disorders strengthens your candidacy, as does any formal supervisory or program leadership experience.
Which companies hire senior level speech language pathologys?
Companies hiring senior level speech language pathologys right now include Marshall University, Medical College of Wisconsin, and UNC Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Hiring at this level comes primarily from health systems, pediatric and adult rehabilitation networks, school districts with large therapy programs, and specialty outpatient clinics seeking clinical leads.
Are there remote senior level speech language pathology jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by specialty and setting. About 0% of senior level speech language pathology openings are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with teletherapy roles most common in school-based and outpatient contexts. On-site requirements remain standard for roles tied to acute care, skilled nursing, or hands-on clinical supervision responsibilities.
What makes a speech language pathology role senior level?
Senior level speech language pathology roles carry broader clinical scope, greater autonomy, and responsibility for others' development. Clinicians at this stage typically manage high-complexity or specialized caseloads, contribute to program design, set clinical standards, and formally or informally supervise clinical fellows, assistants, or junior staff. Decision-making shifts from following protocols to shaping them.
Which industries hire the most senior level speech language pathologys?
Senior Level speech language pathology roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the senior level because they operate high-volume or high-acuity programs that require clinicians who can lead caseloads, train others, and sustain consistent clinical quality without close oversight.
