Assistant or Associate Professor of Clinical Practice, Dept of Pediatrics, Div. of Developmental Med

Description
The University of Washington (UW), Department of Pediatrics, Division of Developmental Medicine is currently recruiting for two, full-time faculty members at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor on the Clinical Practice Track. Specific rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications as generally described in UW’s Faculty Code Section 24-34. Anticipated start date is Spring 2025. 

The Mission of the Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) Programs at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital is: To maximize the lifelong potential of children and families affected by neurodevelopmental & behavioral conditions through collaboration, compassionate medical care, advocacy, education and research. Led by 17 faculty members, our Division provides developmental monitoring for high-risk infant populations and integrated medical and behavioral care for children in the Pacific Northwest region with a wide variety of neurodevelopmental diagnoses including intellectual disability, autism, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, brain malformations, specific genetic conditions, and many others. The Division supports training at all levels and hosts a robust fellowship program with two fellows per year (6 total). Our faculty also engage in bench, translational, and clinical research focused on understanding neurodevelopmental conditions and improving the lives of those affected by them. Division faculty play key leadership, research, and clinical roles at the UW Institute on Human Development and Disability which houses Federally funded programs including Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND), University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD), Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC), and others. We hope to add two creative and energetic early career faculty to our vibrant faculty so that we can improve access to DBP care, particularly for underserved urban, suburban, and rural populations.

In addition to clinical work, teaching, scholarship, and service are integral to all Clinical Practice positions. The initial appointment period will be three years, at a minimum, with eligibility for renewal thereafter. Faculty on the clinical practice track hold multi-year appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off. Clinical Practice track appointments are not eligible for tenure.

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