Details:

The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Utah invites applications for a board-certified or board-eligible cardiac electrophysiologist physician-scientist to join our dynamic team. This position offers an excellent opportunity to engage in clinical care, teaching, research, and other scholarly activities within a leading academic medical center.

This role involves joining a highly collaborative team of six electrophysiologists and ten advanced practice clinicians (NP/PA) at the University Hospital and three electrophysiologists at the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City. Our educational programs include three ACGME Electrophysiology Fellows, in addition to eighteen ACGME Cardiovascular Disease Fellows.

The University of Utah Hospital features three dedicated electrophysiology laboratories equipped with contemporary mapping systems and a variety of ablation tools, supported by a dedicated electrophysiology technical team. A hybrid OR/lab is also available for lead extractions.

The University of Utah serves as a regional referral center for Utah and surrounding states, offering specialized expertise in complex atrial and ventricular ablations, advanced cardiac implantable technologies, and chronic device and lead extractions. The ideal candidate should have proficiency in catheter ablation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as experience with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), pacemakers—including traditional, leadless, and physiologic systems—and cardiac device and lead extractions. Additional opportunities for complex arrhythmia management are available through referral practices supporting adult congenital heart disease, advanced heart failure, sports cardiology, and inherited channelopathies and cardiomyopathies.

Candidates should demonstrate an interest in a clinical academic career that integrates teaching, expert clinical care, research, and other scholarly activities. Allocation of research time will be available based on prior experience, current funding, and career goals, as determined through discussions with the division chief.

Minimum qualifications: Candidates must be board-certified or board-eligible in Cardiovascular Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), board-certified or board-eligible in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology, and eligible for medical licensure in the State of Utah. This position is for a physician-scientist, and we expect the candidate to have a significant interest, if not a track record already, in pursuing scientific pursuits.
