Pediatric Neuropathologist

The Division of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Phoenix Children’s is seeking a Pediatric Neuropathologist to join a rapidly expanding division of 18 faculty members within a nationally recognized pediatric healthcare system. The successful candidate will provide expertise in pediatric neuropathology while contributing to a collaborative academic and clinical environment dedicated to advancing pediatric patient care, education, and research.

The successful candidate will serve as a clinical attending in pediatric neuropathology, supporting an active and growing pathology service that evaluates more than 200 neurological cases and nearly 500 neuropathology specimens annually. Clinical responsibilities include interpretation of pediatric central nervous system tumors, neuromuscular pathology specimens, epilepsy-related resections, and other complex neuropathologic disorders. The position offers close collaboration with nationally recognized pediatric neurosciences and neuro-oncology programs at Phoenix Children’s, including multidisciplinary programs in pediatric brain tumors, epilepsy surgery, neuromuscular disease, neurogenetics, and developmental neuroscience.

Phoenix Children’s maintains a strong and expanding partnership with the Barrow Neurological Institute, one of the world’s premier neuroscience centers, creating unique opportunities for collaboration in clinical care, translational research, and education across the greater Phoenix academic medical community. The successful candidate will interact with pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, oncologists, and physician-scientists engaged in advanced neuro-oncology, precision medicine, molecular diagnostics, and investigational therapeutics.

The broader Phoenix academic environment includes growing collaborations among Phoenix Children’s, Barrow Neurological Institute, Mayo Clinic Arizona, the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, Creighton University School of Medicine, and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), fostering an increasingly vibrant regional ecosystem for neuroscience research and innovation.

There is unique potential for customization of this role commensurate with experience and interest. Candidates may elect to focus primarily on pediatric neuropathology or expand their scope to include adult neuropathology, and pediatric surgical pathology. The position offers a range of opportunities for teaching, translational and clinical research, biobanking and molecular neuropathology initiatives, program development, and leadership within the Division of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.

Candidates with interests in pediatric neuro-oncology, molecular diagnostics, digital pathology, AI-enabled image analysis, or neuroscience-focused translational investigation will find substantial opportunities for collaboration and growth within the Phoenix Children’s and greater Phoenix neuroscience community.

Faculty appointments with the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, Mayo Clinic Arizona, and Creighton University School of Medicine are encouraged. Rank is commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications.

Successful candidates will possess an MD or DO degree and be board certified or board eligible in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology. Completion of fellowship training in Neuropathology is required, with additional expertise or interest in pediatric neuropathology preferred. Pediatric pathology fellowship training is desirable…
