About The Position

The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Department of Anesthesiology is hiring a full-time Anesthesiologist at the faculty rank of Assistant Professor. The anesthesiologist provides specialized care to patients undergoing surgical procedures and helps ensure the best possible outcomes for patients receiving anesthesia for surgery, painful invasive procedures, and childbirth. Clinical duties will be assigned at University of Colorado School of Medicine affiliated hospitals, including University of Colorado Hospital affiliates, and may take place in operating rooms, labor and delivery, radiology, or outpatient procedure centers. The attending anesthesiologist administers anesthesia independently or supervises physicians in training, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified anesthesiologist assistants.

As a School of Medicine faculty member, the successful candidate contributes to departmental and school teaching, including preparing and delivering lectures, serving as a preceptor, and providing individual instruction.
