The Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine seeks a full-time tenure track Investigator at the rank of Assistant Professor. There continues to be an increasing concern about the pipeline of independent, productive physician-scientists in pediatrics. The Pediatric Physician Scientist Research Award (PPSRA) Program is intended as one strategy in addressing this limitation by providing intramural Departmental support for actively and/or newly recruited junior investigators who show outstanding potential for developing an independently funded research program. The PPSRA will provide salary support to protect sufficient time for selected Scholars to dedicate to their research programs within a robust mentoring environment. The candidate's Division will be expected to protect 75% of the individual's time for research. It is anticipated that the successful candidate's remaining time would be allocated to clinical activities in their Division with minimal to no commitment to administration. Qualified candidates will have an MD or DO and experience in biomedical research and candidates should express their interest directly to the Head of their relevant clinical division. Salary is commensurate with position and experience. The start date is negotiable and the position will remain open until filled. Ann & Robert H.
