Assistant Professor - SOM Trauma Plastic Surgery

Job Description

The Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the
University of Maryland invites applications for a full-time
academic plastic surgeon at the Assistant or Associate Professor
level. Based primarily at the internationally acclaimed R Adams
Cowley Shock Trauma Center, this position offers an exceptional
opportunity to develop an academic career in craniofacial trauma
and reconstruction, surgical education, and clinical research at
one of the nation's busiest Level I trauma centers.

Our faculty provide comprehensive care for patients with facial
fractures, complex craniofacial injuries, facial soft tissue
trauma, and post-traumatic craniofacial deformities. The practice
spans the full continuum of care—from acute injury management
through secondary and tertiary reconstruction—offering a unique
combination of high-volume craniofacial trauma, complex
craniofacial reconstruction, and longitudinal patient care. The
breadth and volume of the practice provide an excellent environment
for developing expertise in craniofacial trauma while building a
nationally recognized academic career.

We seek an academically driven plastic surgeon with outstanding
clinical judgment, technical excellence and a collaborative
approach to multidisciplinary trauma care. The successful candidate
will be committed to advancing our mission through patient-centered
care, education, innovation, and scholarly activity.

Responsibilities

In addition to the craniofacial trauma practice, faculty are
encouraged and supported to develop an elective subspecialty
practice aligned with their expertise and academic interests such
as secondary craniofacial reconstruction, orthognathic surgery,
facial reanimation, oculoplastic surgery, facial aesthetic surgery,
or other areas that complement our mission.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the training of
residents through the combined University of Maryland/Johns Hopkins
Plastic Surgery Residency Program, with opportunities for
mentorship, curriculum development, and medical student education.
The Division fosters academic careers through multidisciplinary
collaboration, investigator-initiated clinical and translational
research, mentorship, and protected opportunities for scholarly
development.

Qualifications

Qualified applicants must have completed an ACGME-accredited
residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (BC/BE) and be
eligible for unrestricted medical licensure in Maryland. Fellowship
training in craniofacial surgery or significant experience in
post-traumatic reconstruction is preferred but not required.
