Description
The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine in the Department of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for several Associate or Full Professor positions in the non-tenure academic clinician track. Applicants must have an M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Candidates should be board certified or board eligible in cardiovascular diseases. Rank will be commensurate with experience.
Teaching responsibilities may include include educating medical students, residents, cardiovascular fellows and advanced practice providers. Selected candidates will be expected to contribute to the educational mission of the organization. The academic clinician track requires 100 credits per year of active and high-quality teaching.
Clinical responsibilities may include attending on the inpatient and outpatient services at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and associated practice sites. As the Cardio-Oncology Program is a part of the Consultative (general) Cardiology Section, candidates should be prepared to provide services for general cardiology patients based on the needs of the division. Opportunities for non-invasive imaging will be considered on an individual basis taking into consideration applicant expertise and divisional priorities.
We seek accomplished individuals who will contribute to the continued growth and strategic advancement of Penn's expanding Cardio-Oncology Program through excellence in patient care, education, mentorship, and interdisciplinary collaboration with the Abramson Cancer Center and related oncology specialties.
Selected candidates will be given ample mentorship to achieve clinical and clinical research productivity with a goal of maintaining and growing both national and regional prominence in the field. Members of the Penn Cardio-Oncology program work collaboratively with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons in the NCI-designated Abramson Comprehensive Cancer Center to provide exceptional care for complex conditions in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. The ideal candidate will be committed to the continued growth and clinical development of the division.
Faculty benefit from an unparalleled ecosystem of collaboration, working alongside internationally recognized leaders across disciplines and engaging in cutting-edge, translational research that directly informs clinical practice. The institution’s robust infrastructure—including access to interdisciplinary centers, advanced clinical programs, and expansive research funding— supports meaningful career development across clinical, research, educational, and leadership pathways.
Philadelphia itself offers a rich and vibrant cultural landscape, with renowned institutions such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, and a nationally recognized dining scene. The city combines historic character with modern livability, featuring walkable neighborhoods, diverse communities, and a relatively accessible cost of living compared to peer cities.
The University provides a comprehensive and highly competitive benefits package, including multiple retirement savings options and generous tuition benefits for eligible dependents—further enhancing the long-term value of a faculty appointment. Collectively, Penn Medicine and Philadelphia represent an exceptional opportunity for individuals seeking to advance their careers within a collaborative, high-impact academic environment while enjoying the cultural, professional, and lifestyle advantages of a premier urban setting.
