Job description
The Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for several Assistant Professor positions in the tenure track. Applicants must have an M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent degree.
Teaching responsibilities may include high-quality teaching of CHOP fellows and residents, as well as medical students from the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.

Clinical responsibilities may also include seeing patients in the Division’s busy outpatient clinical practice. In addition to our General Infectious Diseases Clinic, we have dedicated “partner clinics” to provide collaborative outpatient care to patients with other underlying conditions, including malignancies, bone marrow and organ transplantation, and cystic fibrosis.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include fundamental or translational research in the field of infectious diseases. Applicants with a strong record of research productivity and interest in fundamental or translational research in the field of infectious diseases will be considered.
