Clinical Assistant, Associate, or Professor of Surgery – Esophageal and Foregut Surgery (Excludes Bariatric Surgery)

The Division of GI Surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine seeks a full-time non‑tenure track faculty member at the rank of Clinical Assistant, Associate, or Professor. We are specifically seeking an established surgeon with recognized expertise in esophageal and foregut surgery to join and further advance a high‑volume, academically driven clinical program that is focused exclusively on esophageal and foregut disease and does not include bariatric surgery.

The ideal candidate will lead a robust clinical practice focused on the management of complex foregut and esophageal disorders, providing comprehensive pre‑operative and post‑operative care in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team. Clinical responsibilities include both inpatient and outpatient care, as well as the performance of advanced surgical and endoscopic procedures. These include, but are not limited to, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), advanced surgical endoscopy, and minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of esophageal and upper gastrointestinal disease.

This role offers the opportunity to play a meaningful leadership role in the continued growth, innovation, and strategic development of the foregut and esophageal surgery program. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong record of clinical excellence, program building, and collaborative practice, with a commitment to advancing high‑quality, patient‑centered care within an academic medical center.

Additional responsibilities include participation in daily consultations, management of referral‑based care, shared call coverage, and active involvement in inpatient rounding and perioperative care. The faculty member will also contribute to the educational mission of the Feinberg School of Medicine through the teaching, training, and mentorship of General Surgery residents across clinical and educational settings.

The start date is negotiable and the position will remain open until filled.

The expected base pay range for this position is $365,000 – $410,000.
