Hadar makes sense

Plus his wife is a senior admin at UNC Health

President of the healthcare system

Seems like he will have an easy interview with his boss.

I would say being CNS President qualifies him as a "known quantity". You med students can be ridiculous sometimes.

I think the saddest part of that post is that it likely wasn't from a med student

Program director, senior tumor surgeon at MDA, CNS president... about as known as it gets

Internal search candidates rarely get the clout or the start up package that an external hire would.

Not everyone takes a job for a salary bump. External hires are often brought in when the department is moving in a stagnant direction and an unknown face is needed to make tough decisions like firing faculty or shoring up resources. A national search was likely done, and he was deemed the best candidate for the job. He's been there since he finished fellowship in 06. No one knows the needs of the department better than him.

No external search was done--only an internal one.  External searches find the best candidate even if internal and allow for negotiation of a necessary start up package for a new chair.
