The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care is seeking pediatric anesthesiology faculty to work at Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland (BCH Oakland) as a part of a team emphasizing high quality, patient-centered perioperative care with a focus on evidence-based medicine. This is an outstanding opportunity to practice 100% pediatric anesthesiology and join an established Anesthesia Department with a national reputation of excellence in education, research, and perioperative care.

We recognize that a systems approach is necessary to succeed, and we are dedicated to creating positive work and learning environments that allow all clinicians to thrive.

UCSF seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. Our department philosophy is aligned with UCSF campus leadership in the areas of recruiting, retaining, and celebrating individuals traditionally under-represented in the health sciences, LGBTQ+, and individuals with disabilities, to better reflect the diversity of the population we serve in the San Francisco Bay Area.
