PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago is recruiting a physician-scientist to lead the Section of Endocrinology and/or to direct a program within the new Institute for Molecular Pediatric Science (IMPS), to be housed in a newly constructed multi-disciplinary research institute with world class facilities. Candidates must have an outstanding record of achievement in a research field related to pediatric endocrinology. The successful applicant will be a leader in the field, with a strong commitment to research, clinical excellence, teaching of medical students and residents, mentoring of junior faculty, and collaboration.

The University of Chicago offers numerous opportunities to collaborate with leading biomedical researchers in a variety of settings, including IMPS, an active General Clinical Research Center, the Committee on Molecular Nutrition and Metabolism, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The clinical environment in the Section of Endocrinology is superb, comprising a large clinical practice, with state-of-the art facilities including the new Comer Children’s Hospital (opened February 2005), and La Rabida Children’s Hospital, which is devoted to the comprehensive care of children with chronic diseases, including diabetes. The Section also maintains an NIH-funded pediatric endocrinology training grant. Additional opportunities exist for leadership within the pediatric arm of the University’s General Clinical Research Center.

Please send a CV and a personal statement of your research accomplishments and future interest to the Search Committee Chair:
