Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics

Full-Time Faculty Positions (2)

The Division of Neonatology is seeking two (2) full-time faculty members with a strong interest in clinical education. The Neonatal Division offers a stimulating environment, which combines a regionalized perinatal service and internationally recognized strength in research and medical education across the complete spectrum of child health.

The successful candidates will be considered clinician –educators but will also provide support to the Divisional and Departmental research activities. Faculty members are expected to share in the clinical responsibilities of the NICU service while promoting the profile of McMaster University and McMaster Children’s Hospital through research and educational endeavours.

The Neonatal Division is an important service within McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH), a regional tertiary referral centre. The 47-bed NICU is one of the largest in the country with a multidisciplinary team providing comprehensive patient care. There are more than 900 newborn admissions per year including more than 200 VLBW infants. The full spectrum of admissions includes all types of congenital malformations (except heart) and post-surgical care.

McMaster University is internationally recognized for innovations in medical education and pioneering biomedical, epidemiological and health systems research.

Successful candidates will be eligible for an academic appointment at McMaster University and will be eligible to practice in the Province of Ontario without supervision and hold certification from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. However, we also encourage applications from well- qualified, international board-certified (e.g. American Board of Pediatrics) specialists (who are eligible for an academic license to practice without taking Canadian examinations). Rank and salary will be commensurate with training and experience.
