The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University Irving Medical Center invites applications from well qualified MD/DOs and MD/PhDs to join our faculty. We are seeking new faculty members with academic interests in infection prevention & control, epidemiology, transplant ID and/or basic science research in addition to strong clinical skills. As an academic medical center, we are eager to find highly motivated individuals who can develop their own research projects in collaboration with the established investigators here at Columbia in Pediatrics as well as other Departments. The successful applicant can expect to work along with many other investigators at the Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons. Columbia provides an exceptionally rich academic atmosphere. We have exceptionally strong basic science faculty who support translational projects in a broad range of disciplines. We are eager to support early career investigators and many members of the Department of Pediatrics have active K awards and are supported by a strong mentorship program.

Columbia has a varied and exciting clinical practice, focused primarily upon inpatient consultations. We are especially eager to recruit individuals with expertise in infectious prevention & control. Our children s hospital, New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children s Hospital, is the largest children s hospital in NYC which assures us more than ample exposure to a diverse patient population. Clinical responsibilities are shared among the members of the ID division and include daily rounding on a busy inpatient service with trainees and an ID- PharmD.

We have a very active hospital epidemiology service and members of the division are actively involved in IP&C and antimicrobial stewardship. These activities include research, mentorship, and additional skill development. Our group is highly collaborative, working closely with colleagues in other sub-specialty divisions as well as with the epidemiologists and ID physicians throughout the New York-Presbyterian 9 acute care campus system.

We are also actively involved in teaching at all levels, with learners from VP&S, the Mailman School of Public Health, pediatric residents and post-doctoral fellows. Our faculty frequently serves as mentors on the scholarly projects of these learners.

Depending upon the applicant s background salary and academic rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The position will be a full-time Columbia University faculty position which includes full fringe benefits. The Department of Pediatrics and the University are committed to identifying job candidates who reflect the breadth of diversity we enjoy in New York. Underrepresented minorities, women, individuals with disabilities and other underrepresented minorities in particular are encouraged to apply.
