Emory Un iversity and Children’sHealt hcareofAtlan ta havecommitted to improving outcomes for patients with allergic and immunologic diseases by building a leading clinical and research program under the leadership of Dr. Brian Vickery. Our academic home is within the Division of Allergy/Immunology (A/I) in the Emory University Department of Pediatrics. We are now recruiting a board-certified allergist/immunologistat the Assistant or the Associate Professor level to join the Division as an A/I clinician. Candidates are especially encouraged to apply who have particular focus in clinical/translational research in food allergy and adjacent areas, and/or in the care of children with immunological disorders. Protected time for research is negotiable for a research-focused candidate with high potential for extramural funding. There are also opportunities to participate in, design, and lead interventional clinical trials as principal or co-investigator. Clinical research training programs, including an institutional KL2 program and those leading to a masters’ degree, are available via Emory and the Georgia CTSA.

In addition to these academic and scholarly efforts, the successful candidate will become an active member of the pediatric allergy/immunology clinical care team, managing routine allergy problems, severe asthma, more complex cases involving multiple food allergies in the setting of atopic dermatitis and/or eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, as well as immunology patients. For those candidates particularly interested in clinical immunology, an immunology-focused practice is desirable, and there are opportunities for clinical and research collaborations with immune dysregulation clinics, bone marrow transplant, and the Georgia newborn screening program. We are committed to advancing the careers of our fellows and other learners at all stages through teaching and mentorship activities that include oversight of research projects and quality improvement. Inpatient coverage of our consult service is shared with other faculty.

In addition to being recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a top pediatric hospital, Children’s has been listed as one of Fortune magazine’s 100 best places to work for 9 consecutive years. The Emory University School of Medicine is ranked among the nation’s finest institutions for education, biomedical research, and patient care, and the Department of Pediatrics was recently ranked #1 in such departments in the U.S. in research funding by the NIH. Both Children’s and Emory support the ongoing professional and leadership development of physicians while maintaining a healthy balance between academics and clinical work and rewarding excellence and productivity in both. Research and teaching activities are supported and cultivated through strong relationships and affiliations.
