Open Rank of Psychiatry in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences is seeking a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist for an academic faculty position suitable for appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor on the Open Track. The successful candidate will join the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and contribute to the department's clinical, educational, and research missions. This position is designed for a clinician-scientist with a strong interest in maintaining an independent research program.

Fifty percent (50%) of effort will be devoted to clinical activities within the Children's Psychiatric Center Outpatient Services , including the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents and the supervision of residents, fellows, and other trainees through both clinical and didactic teaching. Fifty percent (50%) of effort will be protected for research activities, including the conservation and conduct of an independent research program within the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The Department is committed to supporting the successful candidate's research development.

Research start-up funds of $25,000 annually for up to three years will be provided to support equipment, supplies, research personnel, and related scholarly activities. The goal of this protected research time and start-up support is to facilitate the continuation of an externally funded research program within three years. Continued protected research effort beyond the initial support period will be contingent upon obtaining external funding and demonstrated scholarly productivity.

Any unfunded research effort may be reallocated to clinical, teaching, administrative, or other academic duties at the discretion of the Department Chair. As a member of our supportive and collegial department, the selected candidate will have opportunities for multicultural clinical care, collaborative scholarship, mentorship, leadership development, and participation in educational activities involving medical students, residents, fellows, postdoctoral trainees, and learners in related disciplines.

Research collaborations are available across the Health Sciences Center and throughout New Mexico, including opportunities focused on child mental health, community-based interventions, population health, and health disparities. We are eager to recruit an individual with a passion for child and adolescent psychiatry, academic medicine, and research. Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with training, experience, and academic accomplishments.
