University of Pennsylvania Nephrology Faculty Position with the Philadelphia (CMC) VA Medical Center

Location:
Philadelphia, PA
Open Date:
Aug 27, 2026
Close Date:
Aug 27, 2028
Description:

The Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC) and the Division of Renal-Electrolyte and Hypertension in the Department of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for an Assistant Professor position in the non-tenure academic clinician track. Applicants must have an M.D. or equivalent degree. Applicants should be board certified in Nephrology.

Teaching responsibilities may include teaching Penn medical students, residents, and clinical fellows. Applicants should be outstanding clinicians with demonstrated excellence in patient care and education. The academic clinician track requires 100 credits per year of active and high-quality teaching.

Clinical responsibilities may include providing clinical care in both inpatient and outpatient settings as a general nephrology consultant, in a freestanding VA outpatient hemodialysis unit, and in an acute inpatient dialysis unit. A specific area of interest such as home dialysis, glomerular disease, or onco-nephrology is highly desirable. Participation in clinical research is encouraged but not required.

This position may require split employment by the University of Pennsylvania and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Vision

As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.

Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
