The Division of Pediatric Cardiology at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR) is recruiting a full-time academic pediatric cardiologist to assume the Chief of the Division. The successful candidate must be Board Certified in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology and eligible for appointment at the Associate or Professor level. Candidates should have a well-developed, scholarly/research portfolio with evidence of multi-disciplinary applications and external funding appropriate to complement and expand existing expertise in the department.

The successful candidate will be expected to participate in mentorship, research, teaching, and patient care. Demonstrated experience working in and fostering diverse faculty, staff and student environment or commitment to do so, as a faculty member at VCU is expected.

The ideal candidate will be active clinically in their area of experience in addition to leading and mentoring to advance the academic needs of the Division. The incumbent will work in conjunction with the Cardiothoracic Surgery team and other specialists to develop a multidisciplinary and interprofessional approach to the care of the pediatric cardiology patients. The Children’s Hospital Foundation Heart Center currently consists of nine full-time pediatric cardiologists providing inter-disciplinary care for infants, children and young adults and a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon who is the Director of the CFH Heart Center. There is an ACGME-accredited pediatric cardiology fellowship training program. There are excellent opportunities for collaboration with colleagues at the VCU Pauley Heart Center.

Richmond is a comfortable city of 1.2 million. The VCU School of Medicine is the largest medical school in Virginia, the only academic medical center in Richmond, and CHoR is the only full service academic pediatric hospital in central Virginia.

As a preeminent national, urban, public research university and academic health center, Virginia Commonwealth University is committed to organizational diversity, equity and inclusion - an environment where all can thrive in their pursuit of excellence.

Applicants are requested to submit a Statement of Contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (typically between 150-300 words) providing your career aspirations and contributions toward promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through this statement, you can share how your lived experiences; and past, present, and future academic and professional activities have or will contribute to VCU’s mission of promoting equity and inclusion.

Note: Examples include working with others to further the goals of equity and inclusion; leading in any capacity that tangibly promotes an environment where diversity is welcomed, fostered, and celebrated; creative activity, research and scholarship that promotes equity and parity; teaching and mentoring students, and/or engaging with faculty and/or staff from traditionally underrepresented groups to create a positive and successful organizational experience.
