open rank, full time faculty position for a Developmental
Behavioral Pediatrician ( DBP ) to work in our growing Development,
Behavior and Learning Program. This program provides outpatient
services through interprofessional care delivered by DBP ,
psychology, social work, and nursing. Services include assessment
and ongoing care for children with or at risk for developmental
disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual
disability, genetic conditions, and other related disorders. The
DBP program provides an integral role in the training and education
of pediatric residents and other learners. This faculty position
will include participation in resident didactics, shadowing and
supervision, and ultimately assistance in our future goal of
developing a DBP fellowship. Given that UNC has a rich tradition of
care for children with developmental disabilities, this role will
also include close collaboration with UNC’s Carolina Institute for
Developmental Disabilities, the highest funded autism research
center in the country and a Leadership Education in
Neurodevelopmental Disabilities ( LEND ) site and UNC’s TEACCH
program. This position will be located in the Division of
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics, a newly formed Division within
the Department of Pediatrics at UNC -Chapel Hill School of
Medicine. The creation of this newly formed Division is one of many
examples of the Department’s commitment to the care of children
with developmental disabilities. In addition to DBP , other key
members of the Division include psychology, social work and
nursing. Applicants should be board certified or eligible in
Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Applicants from groups
under-represented in medicine are especially encouraged to apply.
The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina is an
attractive place to live and work with great climate, schools, and
both mountains and beach within a day drive. Preferred
Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience Eligible candidates
should be interested and knowledgeable in systems-based practice
and interprofessional care.
