Description

Lung Transplant Surgeon

The Division of Thoracic Surgery in the Department of Surgery at Mass General Brigham is seeking faculty candidates with interest in Lung Transplantation and general thoracic surgery to join the faculty as an Instructor, Assistant or Associate Professor.

The successful candidate will have an MD or equivalent, be Board eligible or Board certified in Thoracic Surgery, have had training and experience in lung transplantation, and be eligible for a Massachusetts Medical License. 


It is expected that lung transplantation and ECMO care will constitute at least 50% of this individual’s time and general thoracic surgery practice is possible for the remaining time. Lung transplantation will include harvest, implantation, EVLP, patient evaluation and perioperative care. The successful candidate should be committed to excellence in quality and patient safety and will also have an interest in performing thoracic surgery robotically.  Surgeries will be performed primarily at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital where this position will support the lung transplant program. The candidate is expected to also have an academic/research interest and eventually seek funding and establish a clinical transplantation or research portfolio in another area of thoracic surgery. A robust infrastructure will be available for clinical research support and access to translational research infrastructure and resources are also available. The candidate will also have an active role in the education and teaching of medical students and residents on the Transplant Service and within MGB Thoracic Surgery.

Mass General Brigham and the Department of Surgery are committed to ensuring our community feels welcome, cared for and valued. Candidates who have experience working with a broad range of faculty, staff, and patients, are encouraged to apply.
