Division Chief of Child Development - F65050

The Children’s Hospital of Richmond of the Virginia Commonwealth University has committed itself to transforming the Division of Child Development into a model academic unit devoted to excellence in clinical care, teaching, and research in the area of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. We are seeking a full-time developmental pediatrician (tenure-eligible) to serve as Division Chief.

The division currently has 1.5 FTE faculty members, a nurse practitioner, nursing support, 2.5 educational consultants, a social worker clinic director, and a child psychologist, as well as two administrative assistants. The division has an active outpatient presence through its interdisciplinary Child Development Clinic funded through the Virginia Department of Health.

Interested applicants should have experience in interdisciplinary team work environments. Candidates with successful record of research publications and external funding preferred. The Department of Pediatrics has strong working relationships with researchers and clinicians in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Genetics. This position will be encouraged to work collaboratively with these and other specialties. Applicants must be board certified in pediatrics and board certified in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics or Neurodevelopmental Disabilities. A demonstrated experience working in and fostering a diverse faculty, staff, and student environment, or commitment to do so as a faculty member at VCU, is required.

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.
