Job Description:
Position Summary The Department of Surgery at The University of
North Carolina is currently seeking qualified applicants for the
role of Pediatric Surgeon. The Division of Pediatric Surgery is
among 9 clinical Divisions in the Department of Surgery. The
Division currently includes 4 faculty members that provide a broad
array of clinical services to provide the highest quality care for
injured and critically ill pediatric patients. Candidates will be
expected to have demonstrated excellence in all three traditional
academic missions: clinical practice, education, and research, as
evidenced by experience, outcomes, and references. The candidate
must have the ability to work cooperatively and collegially within
a diverse environment, promote teamwork and learning, and lead by
example. Faculty members within the Division of Pediatric Surgery
must possess a desire to commit to all three missions of the
department and school of medicine, including the clinical,
education, and research missions. Regarding the education mission,
faculty members are expected to regularly participate in the
education of medical students and residents. Additionally,
Pediatric Surgery faculty participate in outreach to our rural
referring hospitals. Regarding the clinical mission, faculty
members must be committed to delivering high quality clinical care
to the patients of UNC . Regarding the research mission, a
commitment to any one of a broad array of research interests is
desirable, including but not limited to clinical outcomes, health
services, basic science, translational, ethics, education, or
global surgery initiatives. The Department houses multiple R01
projects and one NIH -funded training grant for surgery residents
who work simultaneously with basic science and clinical mentors.
Research achievements of the surgical faculty have led to increased
breast conservation in patients with advanced disease treated with
pre-operative adjuvant chemotherapy, correction in an animal model
of a genetically determined deficit with stem cell transplants,
elucidation of the mechanisms of immune dysfunction in burns, and
many others. Each surgical division has active research underway in
either clinical and/or basic science programs, and the UNC School
of Medicine ranks 17th in the country in total NIH funding for 2020
and 6th among peer public universities. This position is being
recruited as an open rank appointment at an FTE between 0.5 FTE and
1.0 FTE . The appointment may also be offered as a fixed term track
or tenure/tenure track appointment. The faculty member will be
expected to perform both clinical and research duties, along with
the academic responsibilities of an educational institution.
Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience Preferred
qualified candidates will have demonstrated excellence in all three
traditional academic missions of clinical practice, education, and
research, as evidenced by experience, outcomes, and references.
