The Department of Ophthalmology at Queen’s University is seeking an Academic Comprehensive Surgical Ophthalmologist. Qualified applicants will hold an MD degree (or equivalent) with specialty training in ophthalmology. Successful candidates must be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and preference will be given to applicants who have specialty certification from the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) or the American Board of Specialties.
The successful candidate will be a comprehensive medical ophthalmologist. They will be expected to provide the breadth of care within medical ophthalmology including but not limited to seeing and caring for routine cornea, retina, glaucoma, oculoplastics, uveitis, and neuro-ophthalmology cases but will not be expected to perform incisional surgery. As such, there will not be any associated operating room time with this position.
While this will be mostly a clinical position, being an academic position, the successful candidate is expected to: provide teaching to medical students, residents and fellows; be involved in research; as well as perform some of the various administrative tasks required of the Department (leadership roles, committees, etc.). Regardless of subspecialty, comprehensive ophthalmology call coverage is expected and shared amongst the members of the Department in an equitable manner.
Those interested in this position should submit a complete application package, including the following documents:
• a cover letter, summarizing expertise, qualifications, and accomplishments relevant to the position.
• a Curriculum Vitae; and,
• the names and full contact information of three referees.
