The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is seeking a burn surgeon at the Assistant or Associate Professor level to join the Division of Burn Surgery within the Department of Surgery and the Johns Hopkins Burn Center at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
The successful candidate will join a high-volume academic burn program and work closely with the burn surgery team and multidisciplinary burn care team while developing an academic career in burn surgery, surgical critical care, reconstruction, research, education, quality improvement, or related areas of interest.
The Johns Hopkins Burn Center is an American Burn Association-verified and Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services System (MIEMSS)-designated burn center and is the only adult burn center (age 15+) in the state of Maryland. The center provides comprehensive care across the full continuum of burn injury, including acute resuscitation, critical care, operative management, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and long-term outpatient care.
The Burn Center manages a high-volume and complex patient population, including more than 700 patients annually across inpatient and observation settings, in addition to thousands of outpatient encounters through dedicated Burn/Wound Clinics. The center includes a 10-bed Burn ICU, a 10-bed step-down unit, a dedicated operating room, and a specialized rehabilitation gym, allowing integrated multidisciplinary care for patients with complex burn injuries.
Faculty surgeons manage the full spectrum of acute burn surgery, including excision and grafting, complex wound management, critical care, and post-burn reconstruction. Surgeons practice in close collaboration with trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, advanced practice providers, specialized burn nursing staff, therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, social workers, and other members of the multidisciplinary burn team.
As a member of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty, the successful candidate will have access to extensive institutional resources in clinical and translational research, outcomes science, health services/policy research, surgical innovation, and medical education. Faculty are expected to participate in the education of residents, fellows, medical students, and other members of the burn care team and will be encouraged to develop an academic program aligned with their individual interests and career goals. Faculty are also expected to engage with the American Burn Association with the mission of delivering and innovating excellence in burn care.
The Division of Burn Surgery provides a highly collaborative environment for professional growth. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to provide outstanding clinical care while contributing to the clinical, educational, research, and quality missions of the division and the Johns Hopkins Burn Center. Mentorship and support for academic advancement will be integral components of the position.
Faculty will also participate in Burn Center quality improvement, American Burn Association verification activities, community outreach, burn prevention, and regional and national initiatives that advance the care of patients with burn injuries.
Johns Hopkins offers an environment that values surgical excellence, academic inquiry, mentorship, innovation, and professional development. The successful candidate will join a mission-driven team committed to advancing the care of patients with burn injuries and helping shape the future of academic burn surgery at Johns Hopkins.
