The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is the largest private employer in the City of Los Angeles. As an employee of USC, you will be a part of a world‑class research university and a member of the Trojan Family, which is comprised of the faculty, students, and staff that make the university what it is. The Keck School of Medicine (KSOM) of the University of Southern California (USC) and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) in the Department of Pediatrics in the Division of Cardiology are actively seeking a full‑time faculty member at the level of Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics. Applicants must have an M.D. or equivalent degree, have demonstrated scholarly, clinical, and teaching capabilities, and be board certified or board eligible in Pediatric Cardiology by the American Board of Pediatrics. Candidates must be eligible for medical licensure in the State of California and have completed an ACGME accredited 3‑year fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology, with advanced subspecialty training in pediatric interventional cardiac catheterization. Candidates should be experienced in the assessment and management of pediatric congenital and acquired heart disease, and have broad exposure to and familiarity with various interventional catheterization techniques. Specific expertise or interest in managing patients with lymphatic disorders related to congenital heart disease is a desired attribute. Familiarity with interventional techniques ranging from neonates to young adults is required. Candidates should demonstrate a rigorous academic focus—ideally with a history of research and investigational pursuits and publications in peer‑reviewed journals—and a clear intention for academic productivity. The Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles hosts fellowship training programs in general and subspecialty cardiology, cardiac critical care, pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, and pediatric cardiac anesthesiology. The delivery of care is therefore interdisciplinary involving both medical and advanced practice providers. The provision of both workplace‑based and didactic teaching to trainee fellows, residents, medical students, and nurses is an expectation in this role. The successful candidate will join a division of 29 pediatric cardiologists specialized in a wide range of areas of expertise. The role will be to assume attending physician co‑responsibility for the planning, procedural, and quality control aspects of a busy interventional cardiac catheterization laboratory with three other interventional catheterization subspecialists. This position will also include inpatient and outpatient general cardiology responsibilities, including a general cardiology inpatient service on a rotating basis with other faculty members in the Division of Cardiology. On‑call responsibilities will be principally, but not exclusively, in the area of cardiac catheterization. Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is ranked among the top hospitals in the nation for pediatric cardiac care on the U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals List. We are a recognized leader in state‑of‑the‑art evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for all forms of heart disease.
