This is a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30).  Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off.   The anticipated start date is Summer 2022.

The Division of Rheumatology, at Seattle Children’s Hospital and Research Institute and the University of Washington, is world-renowned as one of the oldest programs in the world and is the largest in the United States – with 13 physicians and 5 nurses that serve the states of Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Montana. Our diverse population of patients come primarily from these states, and represents a wide range of ethnicities and backgrounds as well as unique and rare diseases. The Division has an active research program at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Research Institute with a focus on autoimmune diseases and collaborates closely with the Benaroya Research Institute, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Seattle area biotech industry. In addition to investigator-initiated studies, the division is actively involved in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) projects, is a member of Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Research Group (PRCSG) and participates in pharmaceutical clinical trials. Seattle Children’s has recently become the Coordinating Center for the Pediatric Rheumatology Care and Outcomes Improvement Network (PR-COIN). The division has an outstanding fellowship training program which has been supported by an NIH T32 for decades.

All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
