Position description
The Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body. The Division of Genetics in the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego is currently seeking to expand the Medical Genetics and Biochemical Genetics team. We are seeking applications from physicians or physician-scientists to fill the following positions:
• Clinical Geneticist

The Division is actively involved in clinical care, research, teaching, and service. Our program sees more than 4,000 patients per year in a variety of clinics, which are primarily outpatient at Rady Children's Hospital‐San Diego, a top ten US News & World Report ranked Children’s Hospital. We also see patients at the UCSD Medical Center, throughout Southern California, and in Mexico.
Responsibilities will include but are not limited to, patient care, inpatient consults, and outpatient genetic clinics, and multidisciplinary team settings. The teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows is also expected, along with continued scholarly contributions to clinical, translational, developmental and/or basic research.
In addition, the successful candidate for the Clinical Director position is expected to provide clinical leadership which includes oversight of divisional budgets, quality improvement activities, and direction for members of the Division. Clinical activities could reflect the candidate’s specific interest as well as the general genetics program.
