The newly-created Institute of Urology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California is seeking applicants for 5 faculty surgeon positions. Positions at all academic ranks will be considered. These faculty will form the basis of a urological-surgery team. While individual faculty may be considered, existing teams of physicians who apply as a group and have developed strong working inter-relationships are preferred. We expect that strong candidates will have considerable experience with minimally invasive surgical techniques in urologic oncology, advanced robotic and image-guided surgery experience, and kidney transplantation and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy surgery. Applicants must apply for California medical licensure in sufficient time to assure receipt by July 1, 2009.
