Glaucoma Faculty Position for the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute Full-time

Glaucoma Faculty Position for the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute

The Glaucoma Division within the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute is seeking an MD, MD/PhD, or other combined degree candidate who has previously completed a glaucoma fellowship. This position may fill clinical needs at any one of the Wilmer Practice Network locations in the Baltimore metro region or the National Capital Region.

Candidates should be active glaucoma surgeons, and ideally should have familiarity with both traditional (trabeculectomy, tube shunt), as well as minimally-invasive glaucoma surgical techniques. Expertise with cataract surgery is preferred. The candidate may be a present or recent glaucoma fellow or a more experienced faculty member.

A career plan which furthers Johns Hopkins' goal of clinical excellence accompanied by excellence in teaching and/or research is imperative and will be actively supported. For clinician-scientists, Wilmer offers an unmatched set of opportunities for mentorship and for early-career research support, including endowed Rising Professorships.

Candidates should have an interest in teaching medical students, residents and fellows through interactive teaching sessions, in-person clinical teaching, and surgically. Individuals with an interest in innovative teaching methods are welcomed.

Practice opportunities (both clinical and surgical) are available at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital, Wilmer Eye Clinics in Baltimore's Northern, Western and Southern suburbs, as well as Wilmer Eye Clinics in the national capital region (i.e. Bethesda, MD). Choice of practice sites will be done in collaboration with candidates given the best available practice opportunities and the candidate's preferred area to live.

Our current glaucoma faculty meet, and typically exceed, national academic medicine salary medians as part of a compensation system with outstanding benefits and an incentive plan. Faculty rank and support will be commensurate with applicants' experience and accomplishments.
