Join us in creating Cancer-Free Future!
Thank you for your interest in the Alberta Cancer Board, where opportunities abound.
The Alberta Cancer Board is Canada’s only cancer agency to have province-wide coordination of the full spectrum of cancer control: research, prevention and care. That means it is easier and faster to do research, to learn from colleagues' front-line experiences, and to improve the quality of care we deliver.
It’s also the first to set a vision for a Cancer Free Future with measurable milestones. Instead of projected levels of cancer, by 2025 the Alberta Cancer Board is committed to having…
- 35 per cent fewer people developing cancers
- 50 per cent fewer people dying of cancers
- Support that eliminates or reduces suffering for every Albertan living with cancer.
Why Work for the Alberta Cancer Board?
1. Leading-edge Research and Care
At the Alberta Cancer Board, researchers and clinicians work side by side so patients get immediate benefits from research discoveries and researchers learn directly from the clinical experience.
The Alberta Cancer Board is committed to an exemplary standard of compassionate care and is a leader in the use of new technology to support research and patient treatment.
2. Excellent Work Environment
People work at the Alberta Cancer Board because they care. They believe a Cancer Free Future is possible and they want to be a part of achieving it. They help people through tough times. They learn. They share. And they continually look for ways to do things better.
They enjoy the practical advantages too. For instance, while we operate an in-patient unit that does require 24-7 care, we have a significant number of positions where employees work only days. And the diversity of our operations means that staff can choose to live in a big city or smaller centre. Options include working at the:
· Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton
· Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary
· Population Health and Information Division in Edmonton or Calgary
· Medical Affairs and Community Oncology in Edmonton or Calgary
· Associate cancer centres in Red Deer, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat
3. Attractive Salaries & Benefits
The Alberta Cancer Board offers competitive salaries and provides comprehensive coverage for medical, dental, life and long-term disability insurance, and a pension plan.
Benefits include Alberta Health Care and Alberta Blue Cross – basic insurance and extra coverage for supplementary health needs.
Other benefit programs range from promoting wellness and continuous learning, to protecting income, preparing for retirement, and facilitating resolutions for family issues.
If you are coming from outside Canada, the Alberta Cancer Board can help you to relocate and get the appropriate visas to work in our province.

The standard of living enjoyed by Albertans is the highest of any Canadian jurisdiction, and among the best in the world.
