Job Description

Summary

The Department of Pathology at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) is seeking to expand its faculty in the Division of Anatomic Pathology with an M.D., D.O. or M.D./Ph.D. board-certified or board-eligible pediatric pathologist. Academic appointment will be at the level of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) or Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology & Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine.

 

TCH, the nation's largest children's hospital, is a member of the U.S. News and World Report's 2024 Honor Roll of Best Children's Hospitals. TCH is within the top 10 of all individually ranked pediatric subspecialties: six in the top three including No. 1 in cardiology/heart surgery and in nephrology; No. 2 in neurosurgery, pulmonology/lung surgery and urology; and No. 3 in neonatology. The Texas Children’s Hospital complex, located within the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical campus in the world, includes the original Abercrombie Building, West Tower, Legacy Tower, Mark A. Wallace Tower and the Feigin Tower. Within these buildings are a full range of primary to complex pediatric services, in addition to pediatric-focused research and administration. Texas Children’s Hospital houses the largest pediatric solid organ transplantation center in the USA. Adult services within the TCH complex include the Pavilion for Women, a stand-alone center for high risk obstetrics, gynecology, fetal medicine and fetal surgery; and the newly opened Adult Congenital Heart Disease program, located in Legacy Tower. The broader TCH facilities network is comprised of the West Campus, a community hospital in suburban West Houston; and The Woodlands, the first hospital devoted to children’s care for communities north of Houston. The North Austin campus opened in 2024 extends TCH’s reach beyond the greater Houston area.

 

Expansion in the size and scope of Texas Children’s Hospital necessitates additional support in pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology, placental/perinatal pathology, solid organ transplant pathology, and cytopathology services. Additional subspecialty services include neuropathology, hematopathology, electron microscopy and gynecologic pathology. The combined annual surgical case volume exceeds 17,000 specimens from pediatric and gynecologic surgeries and obstetric deliveries, 3,000 additional cytopathology cases and 120 pediatric and perinatal autopsies annually. Within the Department of Pathology at TCH are additional Divisions of Genomic Medicine, Laboratory Medicine, Informatics, Transfusion and Coagulation, Community Pathology, and Discovery.

 

Pathologists at Texas Children's Hospital have primary full-time academic appointments in the Department of Pathology & Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine, and are expected to contribute to educational and scholarly activities in the Department of Pathology based at Texas Children's Hospital, as well as pathology resident and fellow education. There are exceptional opportunities for collaboration and research activities that include TCH and extend across numerous institutions within the Texas Medical Center.

Minimum Qualifications

Interested individuals must possess Board certification in Anatomic Pathology or Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology through the American Board of Pathology. Board certification or Board-eligibility in Pediatric Pathology is preferred but not required. Candidates must also be eligible for an active, unrestricted Texas medical license. Primary service responsibilities will be in all shared areas of pediatric pathology (Surgicals, Autopsies, GI biopsies and Consults, Frozen section and call coverage). Secondary coverage of additional service(s) is negotiable but could include Perinatal/Placental Pathology, Medical Renal Pathology, or Cytopathology. Experience in digital pathology would be highly desirable.
