Help Wanted: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Seeks New Boss
It’s a tough job market, but if you’ve won a Nobel Prize and run the NIH, we may have a gig for you.
Harold Varmus, the guy with the intimidating CV who has run Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for the past decade, has asked Sloan-Kettering’s board to start looking for his successor.
“I came here with the intention of doing this job for about 10 years, and 10 years have passed,” Varmus told the Health Blog this afternoon. “It’s not retirement; it’s not disease.”
Varmus is going to keep running a lab and teaching, among other things. He also may be on the hook as president for a while longer; he said he’ll stay on until his replacement has been recruited.
“Right now, I ‘m doing what I did yesterday,” he said. “I’m trying to run Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.”
