I am pleased to announce the availability of a
faculty position in our
Trauma/Critical Care section.

As many of you know, we have enjoyed considerable
success creating a
trauma/critical care program here. Our surgical
group includes Peter
Angood, Perren Cobb, Craig Coopersmith, Brad
Freeman and others. We work
closely with Richard Hotchkiss and Walter Boyle
from Anesthesiology. In our
Section alone, we have 3 R01 awards, two K08
awards, an R24 "mini-Glue"
award, and R21 high-risk/high impact award, a
Clowes career development
award and a critical care training grant. We have
a proven track record for
making talented young faculty successful in their
careers.

We are about to open a new 58-bed Trauma and
Emergency Center that will
complement our SICU that itself is expanding from
18 to 24 beds over the
next 3 months. Our goal is to build a Center for
Injury Prevention and
Control.

The person who would best complement the group
would be a young surgeon,
who has a strong interest in trauma care and
emergency surgery and wants to
build an academic career. The position could be
organized with a bench
research focus or with a trauma systems focus,
depending on the needs and
interests of the candidate.

It has always been my philosophy to limit the
clinical responsibilities of
young faculty so they have adequate time to
develop the other academic
aspects of their career. Accordingly, the
successful candidate will be
assigned not more than 17 weeks of clinical
responsibility. I also strictly
adhere to the restrictions placed on career
development awards (e.g. K08)
so that if a candidate is successful in obtaining
such an award, the
clinical responsibility is reduced to 13 weeks.
Put differently, we do not
simply talk about "protected time"--the time is
truly protected with the
expectation that the faculty member will use it to
propel his/her academic
career forward.

If you are interested in such a position, or know
of a person who might be
interested in such a position, please let me know.
I would be grateful if
you would crosspost this notice to other listservs
and bulletin boards that
might be read by qualified individuals.

Thanks in advance.
