We’re saving lives, building careers, and reimagining healthcare. We can’t wait to grow alongside you.

Tufts Medical Center is looking for a Mid-Career Academic Neonatologist to join its team at an Assistant or Associate Professor level.

Tufts Medicine with Boston Children’s Hospital is reimagining pediatric care to meet new and emerging community needs.  In joining together, we are pushing the boundaries and expand/improve access and equity through the creation of a shared and sustainable model of comprehensive pediatric care throughout Eastern Massachusetts. The core of this collaboration is our physicians that are part of the Boston Children’s Network Specialty (BCNSP) Foundation and we will maintain our mutual commitment to research and training the next generation of clinicians. This role will be within the Tufts Neonatal Network, including the Level 3 NICU at Tufts Medical Center and five affiliated Level 2 Special Care Nurseries (approximately 1,200 admissions/year), with an academic appointment at Tufts University School of Medicine.

 Why join our team:  

As a tertiary center, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a top choice for critically ill neonates throughout New England. Staffed by physicians and nurses, our Newborn Transport service shuttles approximately 250 neonates in need of a higher level of care from our affiliates and other community hospitals to our Boston NICU each year. Once here, neonates receive the most advanced medical-surgical treatments including the latest ventilation techniques, hypothermia for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, and sophisticated surgical approaches (such as mandibular distraction osteogenesis) that are not widely available elsewhere in Massachusetts. Our fellowship program is very strong with eight fellows training at Tufts and Boston Children’s Hospital. Our academic program is nationally recognized with major awards funded by NIH and FDA for genome sequencing, real world data, and novel device development. Our Clinical and Translational Science Award program was just renewed by NCATS for seven years (22 years of continuous funding). 
 

Who You Are:

• Board Certified in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine
• Have a passion for teaching and eligible for academic appointment at Tufts University School of Medicine 
• Interested in working with a superb perinatal team at both academic (Tufts MFM and the Boston Children’s Fetal Care Center) and community-based settings, in the progressive and supportive environment of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
• Knowledgeable in healthcare quality, resource management, outcomes improvement, patient safety, and positive patient experience 
• Committed to network development, growth, operational efficiency and integration
