# 1010489 Academic Pediatric Clinical Geneticist in Genetics and Genomics
The Department of Pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine is seeking three full-time clinical genetics faculty members in the Division of Genetics and Genomic Medicine.
The Division of Medical Genetics and Genomics is rapidly expanding. Our team includes five medical geneticists, seven genetic counselors, three metabolic dieticians, and three pediatric nurse practitioners serving patients at one of the nation’s top-ranked children’s hospitals. Washington University is a leader in genomic sequencing, diagnosis and management of rare inherited conditions, and gene discovery. Washington University has ABMGG approved fellowship programs in clinical and medical biochemical genetics as well as laboratory genetics and genomics, and a training program in genetic counseling is in development. Our division also serves as a newborn screening center for both Missouri and Illinois, which includes lysosomal storage conditions in both states. We are a clinical site and model organism screening center (MOSC) in the NIH’s Undiagnosed Diseases Network. There are tremendous opportunities for personal and professional growth offered by a wide array of educational conferences, research opportunities, and collaborative clinical work.
Faculty appointment level will depend upon the applicant’s credentials and experience. An expertise or training in biochemical genetic disorders is desirable. The successful candidate should have an MD or DO degree, and be board certified/eligible in Clinical Genetics. Responsibilities include patient care (inpatient consultations, outpatient genetics clinics, multidisciplinary clinics) and teaching of medical students and residents. This position offers an opportunity to provide clinical service for general genetics clinics as well as a variety of dedicated specialty clinics for Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, connective tissue disorders, exome sequencing, 22q deletion syndrome, cancer predisposition syndromes and inherited arrhythmias..
