Description



The University of Chicago's Department of Surgery, Section of Cardiac Surgery, seeks full-time faculty members at any rank to support its growing Robotic & Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery program. Clinical responsibilities include a focus on minimally invasive and cardiac robotic surgery as well as help support all Cardiac Surgery programs at our Hyde Park location and affiliated offsite community practices and partner locations. Appointees are expected to take call independently and help with ECMO and procurement. Other duties include teaching and supervision of trainees and students, and scholarly activity. Academic rank and compensation (including a generous package of fringe benefits) are dependent upon qualifications.


Appointees will contribute to patient care and join a vibrant and distinguished community of faculty colleagues and learners at UChicago Medicine, the Biological Sciences Division, the Pritzker School of Medicine, and the University of Chicago and its affiliates. The University of Chicago Medicine has been at the forefront of medical care since 1927. Located in historic Hyde Park, the primary medical campus includes the Center for Care and Discovery, Comer Children's Hospital, Bernard A. Mitchell Hospital for adult inpatient care, and the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine (DCAM) totaling more than 550 beds in service and net patient care revenues over $1.4 billion.


The University of Chicago Heart & Vascular Center has nationally recognized research and education programs that build on collaborations throughout the University and is active in clinical operations and quality improvement in the Medical Center.
