Open Rank Clinical Faculty, Department of Pediatrics, Division of General Pediatrics

Position Description

The University of Washington Department of Pediatrics, Division of General Pediatrics, and Seattle Children’s Hospital, are accepting applications for a full-time clinical faculty position as Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor or Clinical Professor. Rank is commensurate with experience and qualifications. Clinical Faculty hold annual appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30) and may be reappointed to subsequent annual terms.  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.  Anticipated start date is Summer 2022.

This position provides clinical service and consultation at the Seattle Children’s Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic, as well as supervision and didactic education of trainees. Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC), located in the heart of Seattle’s Central District, and the Othello Neighborhood, is named after Odessa Brown (1920-1969), a Black woman who was a fierce advocate for health and racial equity in Seattle. OBCC serves as a comprehensive health home with medical, dental, mental health, nutrition, and social services for children. More than that, OBCC is a cornerstone and trusted partner of Seattle’s Black community, as well as other communities of color, with a medical staff that works to keep Odessa Brown’s dream of “quality healthcare with dignity” alive in our Seattle community.

The successful candidate will develop and maintain a primary care pediatric practice drawn from a population of primarily low-income, socially vulnerable and often non-English speaking children. A substantial proportion is also medically complex and will need care coordination in a mature medical home environment.

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