About the Role

We are seeking a full-time Pediatric Anesthesiologist to join our faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor.

As an attending pediatric anesthesiologist, you will administer care independently or supervise physicians-in-training (residents), certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified anesthesiologist assistants. Your day-to-day responsibilities include examining patients before and after anesthesia, writing pre- and post-anesthesia orders, confirming patient readiness for induction, managing the anesthetic period, and following patients through the post-anesthesia recovery phase. You may be required to perform these services in the operating room, radiology, and outpatient procedure centers.

In addition to clinical duties, faculty members are expected to contribute to the teaching needs of the Department and the School of Medicine. This includes preparing and delivering lectures, serving as a preceptor, and providing one-on-one instruction. You will also be expected to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the specialty through clinical or laboratory research.
