The Division of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University seeks to recruit a surgeon to lead pediatric heart and lung transplantation and to assume the role of founding Director of Pediatric Thoracic Transplantation as an Assistant Professor, Clinical Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, Professor, or Clinical Professor in the University Tenure Line (UTL), University Medical Line (UML) and Clinician Educator Line (CE).

The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching.

The major criterion for appointment as Clinician Educators is excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, teaching, administrative and/or scholarship appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill.

Depending on upon credentials and experience, the applicant will be appointed to an Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor level appointment in the Stanford School of Medicine, in the UTL, UML or CE line.

The ideal candidate should have an MD or MD/PhD, be board certified/board eligible in cardiothoracic surgery and board eligible/board certified in congenital surgery and have medical licensure in California by the starting date. This individual will work closely, in a leadership role, with the medical director of heart transplantation and the medical director of lung transplantation, including management of the clinical services, organization of programs, and management of regulatory responsibilities. The clinical role will be dedicated to managing all surgical aspects of pediatric heart, lung, and heart-lung transplantation, and all surgical aspects of mechanical circulatory support, including ventricular assist, artificial heart and ECMO. The director will also work closely with medical director of the hospital wide ECMO program.
