About The Position

The Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is recruiting two board-certified or board-eligible otolaryngologists with fellowship training in pediatric otolaryngology. The role offers opportunities for clinical practice, academic development, collaborative patient care, teaching, and service within a growing Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology. Applicants may be considered for Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, Clinical Professor, Assistant Professor (CHS), Associate Professor (CHS), or Professor (CHS), with rank determined by the finalist’s experience and qualifications.

The clinical practice is based at UW Health American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. Faculty may practice broadly in complex pediatric otolaryngology or develop clinical niches such as advanced airway surgery, pediatric otology and cochlear implantation, advanced sleep surgery, vascular anomalies, head and neck, sinus/skull base, speech/VPI/laryngology surgery, and microtia reconstruction. Faculty participate in multidisciplinary clinics, and the division has nationally recognized clinical trial activity and opportunities for program growth.

Clinical activity accounts for 70% of the role, and academic activity accounts for 30%. Academic pursuits may include surgical education, mentorship, quality improvement, complex pediatric subspecialty care, multidisciplinary complex care, or global outreach. Responsibilities also include teaching medical students and residents, administrative and committee work, and participation in regional and national professional associations. Pediatric otolaryngologists share overnight and weekend call at a 1:6 frequency; adult otolaryngologists share primary pediatric call coverage, and pediatric faculty have no facial trauma responsibilities unless specifically interested. Occasional otolaryngology on-call coverage and regional outreach clinical commitments are shared among faculty.

This is an onsite position and may be full or part time at 80%-100% FTE. Compensation is negotiable for a 12-month appointment. The position is designated as a position of trust involving access to vulnerable populations and requires an initial caregiver check and subsequent checks every two years.
