Position Details


Position Description

Bloodworks Northwest (BWNW) and the University of Washington (UW) announces the availability of two physician positions specializing in transfusion medicine. One position will be focused primarily with transfusion services, with the other focusing on blood collection/blood services. The Assistant Medical Directors will provide assistance to the Medical Director with coverage of BWNW laboratories, provide education and mentoring to trainees rotating to Bloodworks Northwest, participate in shared transfusion medicine didactics at UWMC, and actively assist with rotation structure and content for the Transfusion medicine fellowship. 

UW faculty demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism and engage in teaching, research, and clinical service. UW faculty embrace the vision of excellence, collaboration, and integrity. Come join us in one of the most beautiful and exciting locations in the U.S. as we pursue our mission of creatively and durably improving health.

This appointment may be at the rank of Assistant, Associate or full Professor, without tenure due to reasons of funding. 

This position is paid directly by Bloodworks Northwest and receives no UW compensation.  Please refer to Bloodworks Northwest for information about compensation for this position.

Assistant Professors WOT are eligible for multi-year appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Associate and Full Professors WOT hold indefinite appointments that align with 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.
