Job Description

Last Update: 7/09/19
Excellent opportunity to join a stable group that has been established since 1974! The Neonatology group within University Pediatricians is looking to hire additional Neonatologists. This well-established group currently consists of 10 full-time faculty, one part-time member, and eight fellows within the program. We serve a 40-bed outborn unit at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, a level IV facility, and a 35-bed inborn unit at Hutzel Women’s Hospital, a level III facility. There are opportunities for clinical as well as laboratory research. We are members of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network, and have been since its inception in 1985. We also have a NIH funded Perinatal Research Branch located at Hutzel Women’s Hospital.

Employed Neonatologists can choose whether they would like to join either the clinician educator track or the research educator track, based on preference. Neonatologists will take call 4-5 times a month. All call will be with additional house staff, fellows, or neonatal nurse practitioners. Additionally, all faculty attend at least one national conference in addition to any conference where their research is being presented.

We are seeking a strong clinician who is interested in teaching. Interest in research would also be a great addition. The faculty appointment will be at Wayne State University School of Medicine. Ideally, candidates will have experience working in a level IV unit. Experience with high frequency, ventilation/jet ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide therapy, hypothermia for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, care of extreme preterm infants, performing antenatal consults and fetal assessment clinic evaluations with high risk pregnant patients are all preferred.

The neonatologists are a very cohesive group. We have developed multiple clinical pathways very collaboratively. We hold case discussions every week so that input of all faculty can be obtained. We have excellent fellows, all of whom perform research and QI projects. The pediatric training program is large and very stable; the pediatric chairman and both hospital administrations are very supportive of the division of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine.

We are listed in the US News and World as one of the top 50 NICUs in the country. At CHM, Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine is one of the 5 Centers of Excellence. Since 1985, we have been a member of the NICHD funded Neonatal Research Network and have lead studies on Hypothermia for Neonatal HIE, as well as Antenatal Phenobarbital for prevention of Neonatal ICH and long term outcome after maternal substance use. Four to Five faculty members participate in the NRN as site PIs for different studies. The proximity to the Perinatal Research Branch also promotes collaboration with Obstetrics and Maternal Fetal Medicine. There are excellent Pediatric Medical and Surgical subspecialty physicians to work with. The nursing staff is very experienced with high quality care.

All applicants must be BE/BC and have a favorable malpractice history. Ideally, candidates will have their Michigan license (or in progress). Please submit current CV for immediate consideration.
