Ample opportunity is available for scholarly activities and Translational Research. Clinician-scientists with extramural funding pursuing basic science research will also be considered. The Section of Pediatric Nephrology at Tulane has active NIH supported research programs that are focused on the molecular regulation of kidney development. The Section is also a participant in multiple NIH and national clinical trials focused on pediatric renal diseases.

The Department of Pediatrics at Tulane is committed to providing excellence in education, clinical care, and research. The selected candidate will become actively involved in all aspects of teaching including training medical students and residents. 

CHNOLA is home to the Departments of Pediatrics of both Louisiana State University (LSU) New Orleans and Tulane University.

It serves the entire Gulf South region. The freestanding childrens hospital has a total of 229 patient beds, including an 18 bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Cardiovascular Unit, a 42-bed Neonatal ICU and 6 station pediatric dialysis unit. With more than 400 physicians trained in more than 40 subspecialties, it is the first full-service hospital exclusively for children in Louisiana and the Gulf South.

New Orleans is a vibrant city with approximately 1.2 million within the metro area. It is ranked as one of the top visiting destinations in the country. In a recent Brookings Institution study, the New Orleans Metro Area ranked #1 in employment growth compared to Americas 100 largest Metro areas. The educational system is progressive, with strong schools in both public and private sectors.
