Job description

Responsibilities

The Division of Neonatology in the Department of Pediatrics at this prestigious medical school is seeking a full-time academic BC/BE neonatologist at an Associate or Assistant Professor level to join a team of 10 neonatologists, 3 Hospitalists, and 23 nurse practitioners. This position is responsible for providing clinical care, education, and research. It may also involve starting a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship (anticipated to start in 2025).

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a level-3 unit with 95 beds and an average daily census of 75. It offers all pediatric subspecialties, including surgeries (excluding cardiac surgery and ECMO), neurosurgery, ENT, and orthopedics. The team manages approximately 180 transports annually from across the Gulf Coast and provides coverage to two other level-1 nurseries.

The NICU has a strong record with periviable preterm infants, including a dedicated Small Baby Unit for extremely premature infants. The program participates in the Vermont Oxford Network and is in the process of joining the Children’s Hospital Neonatal Consortium. There are numerous opportunities for research (clinical, global health, and basic science), education, and quality improvement projects for faculty development. The neonatology team collaborates closely with Obstetrics/MFM in counseling and managing mothers with complex fetal anomalies and those in drug rehabilitation programs during birth. Bench research projects are available through the Research in Organogenesis program, a collaboration between the Division of Neonatology and the Center for Lung Biology, renowned for pulmonary hypertension and oxidant injury studies.

VISA Candidates are welcome to apply.
