The Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for several Assistant Professor positions in the non-tenure clinician educator track. Expertise is required in the specific area of HIV. Applicants must have an M.D or M.D./Ph.D. degree. Applicants should be board certified or board eligible in Infectious Diseases.

Teaching responsibilities may include teaching Infectious Diseases fellows, residents and medical students.
