Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology

We have an exciting opportunity to add a pediatric ophthalmologist to our growing practice at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Our current practice comprises eight pediatric ophthalmologists, six pediatric optometrists, and an orthoptist. Last year, we had over 36,800 outpatient encounters including many patients from across the country and around the world. We are looking for applicants who hold either an MD, and is interested in a busy, rewarding clinical practice with a research component, or an MD-PhD, who is interested in combining clinical practice with a strong research component in either clinical or basic science. We would also welcome applicants with subspecialty capability in cornea or oculoplastics.

The candidate may apply at the faculty rank of assistant, associate, or full professor depending on qualifications and past experience. We have an attractive compensation and benefits package. Compensation is generally greater than or equal to the 75^th percentile of the AAPOS benchmark within three years of establishing a practice, with many opportunities to grow and advance once here.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital ranks second among pediatric hospitals in the United States according the US News and World Report, and our research endeavors garner the second highest amount of funding from the National Institutes of Health for all children’s hospitals and pediatric departments nationwide. We are affiliated with the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine. Cincinnati is also an affordable community with a thriving arts and music scene, professional baseball and football teams, and numerous recreational facilities such as the Cincinnati Zoo, Newport Aquarium, and Kings Island amusement park. It has been recognized nationally as an up-and-coming city to watch that is as fulfilling for young professionals as it is comfortable for raising a family.
