About The Position

AMN Healthcare is partnering with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to recruit a nationally engaged Neonatology physician-scientist for a senior faculty leadership role anchored by the Jean and George W. Brumley Jr. Endowed Chair in Neonatology. This opportunity is designed for a physician who wants to shape the next era of neonatal research while practicing within a high-acuity, high-volume Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This recruitment is anchored by the opportunity to serve as the Jean & George W. Brumley Jr. Endowed Chair in Neonatology. The Brumley Chair provides dedicated resources to support program building, recruitment, and sustained research growth. This role is designed for a leader who will define the next phase of neonatal research and clinical excellence at MUSC. MUSC offers a rare, fully integrated maternal–fetal–neonatal continuum that supports discovery from fetal diagnosis through neonatal care and long-term outcomes. As the only comprehensive academic children’s health system in South Carolina, MUSC provides a statewide referral base, robust telehealth infrastructure, and a diverse patient population that fuels meaningful clinical, translational, and outcomes research. This is a platform built for scale, influence, and sustained academic impact. At MUSC, we are building a nationally competitive neonatology research program anchored in a fully integrated maternal–fetal–neonatal continuum. Our goal is to translate discovery into improved outcomes for the most vulnerable patients—newborns across South Carolina. Our Level IV NICU provides high-acuity, high-volume care with a diverse patient population, including extreme prematurity, complex congenital disease, and neonatal brain injury. This clinical depth supports impactful clinical, translational, and outcomes research. MUSC offers a unique opportunity to study disease across the full continuum—from fetal diagnosis and intervention through neonatal care and long-term outcomes—enabling longitudinal and mechanistic research rarely achievable at a single institution. Our dedicated pediatric research institute integrates basic science, developmental biology, and clinical research. Areas of strength include lung development, inflammation, brain injury, and organ system maturation—directly aligned with neonatal research priorities. As the only comprehensive academic children’s health system in South Carolina, MUSC offers a statewide referral base and telehealth infrastructure. This enables population-level research, implementation science, and meaningful impact on neonatal outcomes across diverse and underserved communities. We are seeking neonatology investigators who want to build programs, lead nationally, and translate discovery into improved outcomes for newborns. The Brumley Chair provides a platform to recruit teams, expand infrastructure, and establish MUSC as a national leader in neonatal research. Charleston offers a compelling blend of coastal living, historic character, and professional opportunity. The city is consistently recognized for its quality of life, cultural vibrancy, and strong employment base anchored by health care, research, and technology.
