Expected faculty rank for this position is Assistant Professor or higher, however, final rank, tenure status and salary will be dependent upon selected candidate's qualifications and experience. Both clinician-educators and clinician-scientists are welcome to apply.

The campus is ideally situated in the heart of downtown Baltimore, steps from Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium and just minutes from the Inner Harbor, National Aquarium, and Maryland Science Center.

The area features outstanding public and private schools, diverse and welcoming neighborhoods, and a wide range of living options-from historic urban communities to suburban and waterfront settings-making it an ideal place for individuals and families alike.
