The successful individual will join a well-established Division of 12 adolescent medicine faculty members and a multidisciplinary team of over 50 staff and faculty. The Division consists of a diverse group of adolescent health experts who value the excellence that comes from diversity, fostering a climate of inclusion and collaboration, and innovation.

Clinical programs include hospital inpatient consultation; outpatient behavioral health, eating disorders, gender, biofeedback, and reproductive health; and regional clinics, including those for homeless youth and incarcerated youth.

This position will lead our growing, multidisciplinary Gender Clinic in collaboration with Endocrinology faculty. The clinic team includes adolescent medicine, endocrinology, psychiatry, nursing, APPs, and social work. 

All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
