We’re seeking Board-Certified/Board Eligible Clinical and Pediatric Geneticists to join Ochsner Hospital for Children in New Orleans—part of Ochsner Health, the largest not-for-profit academic health system in the Gulf South. Expertise in the evaluation, diagnosis, and ongoing care of patients with a variety of genetic disorders, including congenital anomalies, congenital heart disease, chromosal disorders, autism, mitochondrial disease, and cancer, is desired. The section also offers prenatal genetic counseling as well as newborn screening.

Working closely with three genetic counselors, and an experienced group of nurses, you will serve children from across the region.

Clinical care will include partnering with medical and surgical colleagues to serve children with complex conditions in multidisciplinary programs.

In addition, you will also teach medical students, residents, and allied health students. Clinical and translational research opportunities abound for qualified candidates. An academic appointment will be commensurate with experience.

About New Orleans

One of the most exciting and historical U.S. cities, New Orleans is both cosmopolitan and laid-back—full of world-class music, dining, shopping, attractions, and Southern charm. Professional football and basketball, gorgeous parks, year-round festivals, prestigious academic centers and universities and hospitality await you. It’s no wonder Travel & Leisure ranked New Orleans #2 in The Best Cities in the United States in 2022!

If you’re craving the beach, the Gulf shores of Alabama are about two and a half hours away by car; and the white sands of Destin and Seaside, Florida, are just over four hours away.
