Job Description

University of Iowa Stead Family Department of Pediatrics seeks a pediatric rheumatologist. Appointment rank is open and may be to either the tenure track or clinical (non-tenure) track consistent with clinical experience and research interest. Appointment rank to Instructor of Pediatrics (non-tenure) may also be considered. The individual selected will join the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology to provide patient care, teaching, and consultative services specializing in rheumatology.

University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital is home to Iowa's largest pediatric rheumatology division--doctors with the training, expertise, and experience to treat children and young adults with rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases refer to a wide range of disorders that can affect any tissue in the body including joints, muscles, and skin. These diseases may present with pain, swelling, morning stiffness, fever, or rash. Pediatric rheumatic diseases result from uncontrolled inflammation during which the body's immune system attacks or hurts its own healthy cells and tissues.

The University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine is one of the nation's top medical schools. It is ranked No. 44 in research in the 2024 U.S. News & World Report listing of "Best Graduate Schools," and it is ranked No. 23 in National Institutes of Health funding among public institutions by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research. The UI Stead Family Department of Pediatrics is currently ranked No. 28 in NIH funding among all public pediatric departments nationwide.

The UI Stead Family Department of Pediatrics comprises the medical staff of UI Stead Family Children's Hospital, Iowa's only nationally ranked children's hospital and home to the state's only accredited Level 1 Regional Resource Pediatric Trauma Center. The ACGME-accredited pediatric residency program at UI Stead Family Children's Hospital trains 50 pediatric resident physicians. For its 2023-24 edition of "Best Children's Hospitals," U.S. News & World Report ranked UI Stead Family Children's Hospital in six pediatric specialties: neonatology, diabetes and endocrinology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, and urology.
