Job description

Associate Professor, Clinician Educator

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Open Date: Oct 2, 2026

Close Date: Oct 2, 2028

The Department of Emergency Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Associate Professor position in the non-tenure clinician educator track. Applicants must have an M.D. degree and be ABEM certified or eligible for such certification.

Teaching responsibilities may include bedside clinical teaching of emergency medicine residents and students. Additional teaching responsibilities include lectures, journal clubs, case conferences, simulation teaching, small group discussions, and others. Enthusiasm and dedication to educating our residents and students is highly valued in our department.

Clinical responsibilities may include providing outstanding clinical care to emergency department patients in one or more of our four city hospitals: Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), HUP at 54th and Cedar, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and Pennsylvania Hospital. Patients seen in our EDs include high acuity, complex patients, as well as patients with less acute illnesses and injuries. Penn Presbyterian Medical Center is a Level 1 Trauma Center.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include establishing a scholarly program, with a focus in one or more of the following areas: critical care, clinical patient-oriented research, health systems research, medical education, ultrasound, toxicology, emergency medicine services, administrative leadership, global health, resuscitation, laboratory-based basic mechanisms of illness; and other EM-related sub-specialties. The effort scheduled for this research is offset by the establishment of independent funding support. Promotion on the CE track requires significant scholarly productivity.
