Physician - Transplant

Grow into the surgeon you want to become - with a team that has your back.

The early and mid- years of a transplant career shape everything that follows: the cases you grow into, the questions you get to research, and whether you have people beside you when a night gets hard. We are building a place where early-career surgeons do not have to choose between being supported and being challenged.

The University of Arizona, Tucson and Banner University Medical Center are recruiting an abdominal multi-organ transplant surgeon at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. We welcome early or mid-career surgeons to contribute to the mission and their growth within the Division and the Department. Leadership opportunities are available and will be shaped around your experience and goals.

A culture where it is safe to ask, learn and speak up

• Asking for help is good surgery. Calling a partner in on a difficult case is respected as sound judgment, never seen as weakness.
• Mentorship that is real. You will have surgical and academic mentors within the Department and the College of Medicine, invested in your clinical skill, research and promotion.
• Learning, not blame. We review outcomes together as a team, so every complication makes all of us better.
• Every voice counts. From the newest faculty member to the most senior, ideas and concerns are heard and acted on.
• Your goals set the direction. Your career path, including leadership, is built with you, not handed to you.

Real growth, from day one

• Full-scope practice. Liver, kidney and pancreas transplantation, living donor nephrectomy plus multi-organ procurement.
• Help build programs, not just join them. We already perform robot-assisted transplant surgery and are preparing to launch auto-islet transplantation and a living donor liver transplant program. Few early-career surgeons get to help build new programs like these.
• New skills, fully supported. Interest or expertise in robotic surgery, auto-islet transplantation or living donor liver transplantation is highly valued, and we will invest in your development in these areas.
• World-class research partners. Work alongside the internationally recognized BIO5 Institute, known for groundbreaking research in cellular transplantation and organ regeneration, and the Boyer Liver Institute, a state-funded center of excellence advancing innovative research in liver disease.
• Teach and keep learning. Train medical students, residents and fellows in a rich academic environment that values surgical education.

*Qualified candidates will receive a faculty appointment with the University of Arizona that is consistent with their credentials.

Qualifications and Essential Functions:

• BC/BE in General Surgery with American Board of Surgery
• Completed ASTS accredited transplant fellowship program
• Valid AZ license (or eligible to receive)
• Training in multi-organ procurement, kidney, liver, and pancreas transplantation is essential
• Applicants should have demonstrated skill and interest in teaching learners at all levels
• Opportunities for research as well as leadership development are available
