Job description

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Department of Neurology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for Assistant and Associate Professor positions in the non-tenure academic clinician track. This role is based at CHOP’s Central New Jersey Specialty Care Center in Princeton, New Jersey. Applicants must have an M.D. or equivalent degree.

Clinical responsibilities will focus primarily on outpatient pediatric neurology care at the Princeton Specialty Care Center, with opportunities to participate in CHOP’s broader regional, hospital-based, and affiliated care network.

Teaching responsibilities may include bedside and outpatient teaching and oversight of observers, medical students, residents and fellows in a clinical setting, and formal lecture opportunities within the department.

We are recruiting board-eligible or board-certified child neurologists to support the continued growth of CHOP neurology services in Central New Jersey. The position offers the opportunity to build and sustain a comprehensive outpatient child neurology practice in Princeton while remaining fully connected to CHOP’s Division of Child Neurology, Neuroscience Center, academic programs, inpatient services, digital care platforms, and multidisciplinary specialty network. We seek child neurologists with broad clinical skills who are interested in a dynamic practice that combines clinical excellence, collegial connection, education, and academic engagement.

• Program Highlights:
  Join a team of 75 Child Neurology attending physicians and scientists who provide comprehensive neurologic care across the Philadelphia and surrounding region.


• The Section of Community Neurology fosters a collaborative, collegial home for neurologists practicing across CHOP’s regional network, supporting shared clinical standards, peer connection, educational engagement, mentorship, and access to the full academic and professional resources of the Division of Child Neurology.


• CHOP’s regional Specialty Care Centers extend high-quality pediatric specialty care closer to home for families across the care network, offering comprehensive outpatient services, multidisciplinary collaboration, and seamless connection to the full depth of CHOP’s hospital-based, surgical, diagnostic, and subspecialty expertise.

• Neurology care is integrated across CHOP’s three-hospital system, providing opportunities to care for children in diverse inpatient, emergency, consultative, and specialty settings while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across the Philadelphia Campus, King of Prussia Hospital, and CHOP’s broader hospital network.


• Our inpatient and outpatient affiliations create a broad, connected care network for children with neurologic conditions, with opportunities to partner across hospital, specialty care, and community settings while advancing digital health, telemedicine, and remote care models that improve access for patients and families.
