Director, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)

UAB Medicine invites applications and nominations for the position of Director, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility.

UAB is the premier medical facility in the state and region, and a national leader in patient care, research and training. The system is currently in an era of major investment and growth and on the goal of becoming the Preferred Academic Medical Center of the 21st Century, and moving into the top 20 schools over the next 3 years.

A new strategic opportunity has arisen in the UAB Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility(REI). The Department of OB/GYN is conducting a national search for the next Director of the REI Division. The new Division Director will be an outstanding leader and skilled physician or physician/scientist, widely recognized in the field with a strong track record of scholarship and clinical excellence. They must be a respected leader who is operationally savvy, highly knowledgeable of cutting edge medicine, and a visionary leader in reproductive science. The next Division Director inherits the tailwind of a state-of-the-art embryology lab and very high IVF success rates.

The next Division Director will have an exceptional foundation on which to re-shape the division through faculty development and new hires. The Director must be a compelling leader whose passion for the educational, clinical, and research missions energize the faculty and staff, focusing their efforts on a strategic vision of excellence in all missions. They must also be a competent and prudent steward of the division, guiding it through what will almost certainly be uncharted changes in the healthcare and social environment. Importantly, the Director must be viewed by all stakeholders as a strong advocate for balancing the academic, educational, and clinical missions within the division, and to be a willing collaborator with colleagues outside of the REI Division. The successful candidate will promote a culture of institutional stewardship and transparency, including commitment to improved clinical operations, efficient and effective use of space, and a willingness to align resources with evolving departmental strategies.

The successful candidate will hold an M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or equivalent and board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. S/he will possess a sustained record of peer reviewed scholarship, preferably evidenced by significant research productivity. Faculty rank and tenure at UAB are commensurate with experience.

UAB is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and family-friendly environment in which all faculty and staff can excel and achieve work/life balance irrespective of, race, national origin, age, genetic or family medical history, gender, faith, gender identity and expression as well as sexual orientation. UAB also encourages applications from individuals with disabilities and veterans.

A pre-employment background investigation is performed on candidates selected for employment. In addition, physicians and other clinical faculty candidates who will be employed by the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation (UAHSF) or other UAB Medicine entities, must successfully complete a pre-employment drug and nicotine screen to be hired.
