The Department of Pediatrics at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School is seeking an outstanding leader to serve as the Director of the Division of Genetics. The physician leader will have a strong track record in clinical care, education, and investigative work to provide overall strategic leadership of clinical functions, training programs, and ongoing development of the research enterprise. The Director will be Board Certified/Board Eligible in Clinical and/or Biochemical Genetics and General Pediatrics and will work with an established team of physicians, genetics counselors, and advanced nurse practitioners to provide clinical patient care.
There are opportunities to collaborate with clinicians in all pediatric subspecialties, in addition to clinicians who care for patients with craniofacial disorders, disorders of sexual differentiation, and vascular malformations. Opportunities for teaching genetic counseling students are available in the Rutgers University Program in Genetic Counseling. The Division Director will report to the Department Chair for clinical activities, faculty career development, research, and related educational and scholarly activities. Academic rank will be determined by qualifications and experience.
The outpatient services are located in the Rutgers Child Health Institute of NJ, a state-of-the-art facility that includes a Pediatric CRC, Pediatric subspecialty offices, and a modern research facility. Our New Brunswick-based clinical programs have achieved Accredited Status for Ambulatory Health Care by the Joint Commission, one of only a small number of academic ambulatory practices with this status.
The Department of Pediatrics has a full complement of pediatric medical and surgical subspecialists, and outpatient services are provided at the Child Health Institute of New Jersey which also houses our research faculty. The Department of Pediatrics includes 124 physicians and basic scientists who conduct collaborative research with an emphasis on mechanisms of disease, novel therapies, epidemiology, and/or outcomes research in areas relevant to childhood diseases. Our centers of excellence include The Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities, Child Health Sciences, and the Institute for the Study of Child Development.
The Department provides a collaborative setting for the study of basic mechanisms of disease and outcomes research that would provide new insights into the treatment of childhood diseases.
