Job description

Physician / Neonatology / Alabama / Permanent / Practice Neonatology on the Gulf Coast Job

Job Description and 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. The candidate will join a team of 10 neonatologists, 3 Hospitalists, and 23 nurse practitioners. Responsibilities include providing clinical care, education, and research. The position 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 (95 beds, with an average daily census of 75) offering 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 covers two other level-1 nurseries.

Our NICU is proud of its outcomes with periviable preterm infants and has a dedicated Small Baby Unit for extremely premature infants. It is part of the Vermont Oxford Network and is in the process of joining the Children's Hospital Neonatal Consortium. Opportunities for research (clinical, global health, and basic science), education, and quality improvement are available for faculty development.

The neonatology team collaborates closely with Obstetrics/MFM for counseling and managing pregnancies with complex fetal anomalies and mothers in drug rehabilitation programs. Bench research projects are available through the Research in Organogenesis program, a collaborative effort between the Division of Neonatology and the Center for Lung Biology, known for Pulmonary Hypertension and Oxidant Injury studies.
