Open Rank - Pediatric Neurology

Position Summary

USF Pediatric Neurology has two dedicated beds for sleep and video‑EEG monitoring at the Children's Hospital located within our partner hospital Tampa General Hospital (TGH). The Children's Hospital houses a Level‑Three Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), one of only two PICUs in Florida and one of only 13 units nationwide awarded the Silver Beacon Award for Excellence by the American Association of Critical‑Care Nurses.

The expanding Division of Pediatric Neurology in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine seeks two open‑rank pediatric neurologists for full‑time, clinical, non‑tenure‑earning faculty positions. The academic rank will be commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications and experience.

We are looking for neurologists with strong clinical skills and a passion for pediatrics to join our team in diagnosing and treating patients ages 0‑21 who travel to USF Health for care from all over Florida. Our division comprises two board‑certified neurologists, a nurse practitioner, and a registered nurse. In addition to providing pediatric neurology services, one of our physicians also cares for children and adults with sleep disorders. Collaboration is at the heart of USF Health; for example, we perform tandem work with comprehensive adult epilepsy and stroke teams. To fill a critical niche, we are currently building a dedicated pediatrics program, allowing us the opportunity to grow our division and extend our reach even more.
