The University of Utah is seeking to recruit a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon to join the section of Colon and Rectal Surgery at the Assistant/Associate or full Professor rank. This is an outstanding opportunity to join a well-established, supportive program in a great location to work and live. The recruit would join a group of three surgeons supported by one physician assistant, surgical residents, and a colorectal fellow.
While not required for this position, the Department of Surgery is also actively seeking a Vice Chair of Research to lead its broad research programs and expand the strong research infrastructure to further support academic faculty and trainees in their research endeavors.

We have a robust clinical practice including complex multidisciplinary care of colorectal cancer, IBD , and pelvic floor disorders. The surgeons also serve as teaching faculty for the University of Utah General Surgery residency program and a new Colon and Rectal Surgery fellowship. Leadership opportunities within the Department of Surgery may exist for the appropriate candidate.
Highlights:
No general surgery or trauma call
Shared weekend call with surgical oncology (approximately 1:10)
