About The Position

The Division of Addiction Medicine within the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for three full-time faculty positions in the non-tenure Academic Clinician (AC) track. These positions support Penn Medicine’s expanding addiction medicine clinical, educational, and community programs, with flexibility in clinical practice location and scope and a focus on access to evidence-based addiction treatment across Penn Medicine.

Faculty clinical responsibilities may include ambulatory addiction medicine, Bridge/Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) services, treatment of opioid and other substance use disorders, hospital-based addiction treatment, community-based addiction services, supervision of residents and fellows, and multidisciplinary care coordination. All faculty members will devote a portion of their clinical effort to inpatient Addiction Medicine consultation services at one or more Penn Medicine hospitals. Clinical care may be based primarily at Pennsylvania Hospital, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, HUP Cedar, Bridge/OTP services, and other Penn Medicine-affiliated settings.

Teaching may include educating and supervising residents, fellows, and medical students in inpatient, consultative, ambulatory, and Bridge/OTP settings. Educational leadership and program-development opportunities may be available. Independent research is not required for Academic Clinician faculty, although scholarly activity, quality improvement, curriculum development, and educational innovation are encouraged and supported.

The Division serves diverse patients across Philadelphia, including individuals and communities that have historically faced barriers to health care access and health equity. Candidates should be committed to caring for medically and socially complex populations and have experience in underserved communities and resource-limited clinical settings.
