Academic appointment will be at the level of Associate Professor or Professor (with candidacy for tenure) in the Department of Pathology & Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine.
Texas Children’s Hospital is the nation's largest children's hospital and is consistently ranked among the best children's hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report (USNWR), holding the #1 position in Texas and being part of the USNWR's Honor Roll of Best Children's Hospitals. TCH is home to nationally top-ranked clinical programs, including pediatric cardiology and cardiovascular surgery (#1), nephrology (#1), pediatric pulmonary medicine (#2), neurology and neurosurgery (#2), urology (#2), neonatology (#3) and cancer (#4). The hospital has a premier pediatric solid organ transplantation program that is the largest of its kind in the USA. Since 2012, the Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women has steadily grown as a leading center for maternal-fetal medicine, adolescent gynecology, and fetal medicine/fetal surgery. In addition, the recently announced first-of-its-kind pediatric cancer care joint venture between Texas Children’s Hospital and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will unite the nation’s largest pediatric cancer center with the nation’s leading comprehensive cancer center.
