Transplant Pulmonology - Academic Physician

About this role

The Department of Medicine's Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine (PACCS) seeks an Assistant or Associate Professor faculty on the Academic or Clinician Track with clinical focus on Lung Transplantation. As a Division, with more than 80 faculty based at four principal hospital sites, we proudly feature nationally recognized programs and leaders in Interstitial Lung Disease, COPD, Lung Transplantation, Critical Care Medicine (Respiratory Failure & ARDS), Cystic Fibrosis, Interventional Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. We strive to find new treatments and cures for diseases in these areas through basic, clinical and ‘big data’ research, while working to prevent respiratory illness.  We partner with faculty across the University and colleagues in the community in our research, clinical, education and training efforts.

Primary Responsibilities include: This academic track faculty member will devote at least 85% effort (90% or 95% for Clinician Track) to providing high quality clinical care in order to fill a faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor or above ( in the Academic Track or Clinician Scholar track). The remaining effort will be dedicated to education and collaborative research activities with the expectation of demonstrated accomplishments consistent with promotion in the academic track (an average of at least one publication per year, for example). The clinical effort predominantly will be at the University of Minnesota Medical Center and Clinics and Surgery and Center, and University of Minnesota’s East Bank Hospital.

The faculty will participate actively and contribute to PACCS Division and Department of Medicine academic and clinical programs. Those with a primary clinical focus and particular interest in lung transplantation are encouraged to apply.

Faculty would participate actively in the relevant multi-disciplinary programs. Clinical effort may be reduced with participation in salary-supported activities (research, program leadership, etc).  Active participation in the Division's clinical and research conferences, journal club and core curriculum lectures and teaching of students, residents and fellows is expected. Experience and skills in education and/or clinical research are desirable.
