Position description
The Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego (https://pediatrics.ucsd.edu) is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body. We are currently seeking new clinical faculty in General Pediatrics to join our Division of Academic General Pediatrics.
The Division has clinical practices in multiple locations, including a burgeoning partnership with a large federally qualified health center system that serves many communities in San Diego. We provide outpatient medical care for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults aged from birth to 21 years. Our team is comprised of exceptional faculty and staff committed to providing evidence-based clinical care and serves as the main outpatient pediatric teaching site for UCSD medical students and pediatric residents. The Division also has a clinic focused on caring for medically fragile patients as well as visits for breastfeeding support, for children traveling to developing countries, and immigrant children.
The successful candidates will play a crucial role in the well-being and development of infants, children, and adolescents in our community. The incumbents will contribute to providing quality healthcare and promoting a lifetime of good health for our young patients. They will also be expected to support the mission of delivering high-quality care, teaching, and scholarly activities while promoting an environment that supports diversity, equity, and inclusivity among faculty, students, and staff.
The appropriate series and appointment at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be based on the candidate’s background and experience.
