Clinical responsibilities may include working in the outpatient clinics and as an attending on the inpatient service as applicable depending upon candidate background.


Research or scholarship responsibilities may include demonstrating a track record of high impact publications, funding independence, research training experience, administrative expertise, and the abilities needed to build new programs, while integrating productive Cardiac Center research into a novel structure. Work closely with the CHOP Research Institute to build cross-disciplinary partnerships between the CVI and other clinical and translational research centers and teams.


In addition, the Director will:

  • Lead the development and execution of a strategic vision for clinical and translational research in the CHOP CVI including prioritizing themes and research infrastructure with the goal of further enhancing the world-class CHOP pediatric CV research group in the Cardiac Center.

  • Recruit and retain top cardiovascular clinical research faculty specifically including candidates from groups historically under-represented in pediatric research.

  • Catalyze the collaborative coalescence of clinical researchers across CHOP pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery and critical care/anesthesia.

  • Further enhance the interface with, and participation in, national research efforts including those sponsored by the NHLBI (PHN, PCGC).

  • In partnership with the CVI leadership promote collaborative bridges between the basic, translational, and clinical scientists across the CV research landscape at CHOP and Penn towards the development of a world-class comprehensive pediatric cardiology research center

  • Help lead the development and utilization of a “through the door” Cardiac Center/CVI biorepository linked to the Penn Medicine Biobank leading to a “lifespan” biobank, the first of its kind.

  • Develop a plan to harmonize existing CHOP disease-specific legacy biorepositories (e.g. Norwood cohort, ApoE cohort etc) with the Cardiac Center/CVI biorepository and the larger CHOP Research Institute biobanking effort.

  • Establish impactful academic-industry partnerships and efficient pathways towards commercialization of the discoveries of the CVI and Cardiac Center researchers.
