The appointment is for three years, and begins on July 1st of each year.

The University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Children's, and the Division of Neonatology are committed to the recruitment, training and success of underrepresented minorities and women. Applications from such candidates are particularly encouraged.

Please include the following with your application (through ERAS):

Interviews

Following application review, applicants that are a good match for our program will be contacted to set up an interview. The Division of Neonatology provides candidates with accomodations in Cincinnati and meal reimbursement.

The interview day involves several of the faculty and fellows of the division. If the candidate has a specific research interest, this should be conveyed at the time of scheduling and every effort will be made to include faculty in that area during the visit. Faculty areas of interest can be reviewed at the Section of Neonatology, Pulmonary and Perinatal Biology website.

Deadlines

We generally match four qualified trainees per year. Dates and deadlines for applications are those established by ERAS. The deadline to apply is May 31. Applications can be submitted beginning November 15 of the prior year.
