Assistant Professor ($22,000–$24,250 per month), Associate Professor ($24,250–$29,250 per month), Professor ($29,250–$33,500 per month), commensurate with experience, qualifications, and academic rank, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination. These ranges are inclusive of base salary provided through the UW Physicians (UWP) practice plan, in addition to base salary provided by the University. Please note that only compensation provided by the University is included in University benefit determinations and calculations.

Compensation provided by the UW Physicians (UWP) practice plan may provide eligibility for separate benefits offered by that organization. Other compensation associated with this position may include a clinical coverage overload (CCO), temporary pay supplement (TPS), or semi-annual additional compensation (SAAC), including additional compensation of $500 per night shift for any work as a member of the night attending (nocturnist) team.

Clinical work will be primarily inpatient and focus on critical care. Teaching activities will include attending on clinical service and mentoring trainees.
