Salary is commensurate with training, qualifications, and experience. This position will have an annual service period of 12 months (July 1 – June 30) with an anticipated start date in Spring/Summer 2023. This unique opportunity consists of a full-time UW faculty position at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor WOT (without tenure by reason of funding) providing adult transplant surgery care at the University of Washington Medical Center-Montlake campus and may include pediatric clinical coverage at Seattle Children’s Hospital depending on experience. UW Medical Center is one of the world’s foremost academic health centers serving the Pacific Northwest and WWAMI region (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho).  The transplant programs are national leaders in volume and outcomes, with growing living donor programs in both kidney and liver. The newly developed UW Medicine Transplant Institute is a major strategic investment in further growth and development of our transplant programs.

As the Surgical Director of the UW Medicine Transplant Institute, this position will provide strategic clinical leadership to the health system as the service line expands and develops. This position may include nomination for the Roger K. Giesecke Distinguished Professorship in Transplant Surgery depending on the candidate’s qualifications.

 

A successful candidate must have demonstrated expertise in transplant surgery, an MD (or foreign equivalent) and be board certified (or foreign equivalent) in surgery, and successful completion of a transplant surgery fellowship.  The successful candidate will have prior expertise in leadership, including financial stewardship.

 

In order to be eligible for University sponsorship for an H-1B visa, graduates of foreign (non-U.S.) medical schools must show successful completion of all three steps of the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), or equivalent as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
