Faculty Position

Recently, our university changed its name from Finch University of Health Sciences/The Chicago Medical School to Rosalind Franklin University. The University consists of The Chicago Medical School, The College of Health Professions, The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and The Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. We became the first medical institution in the United States to recognize a female scientist through an honorary namesake, as well as adopt an expanded vision with a mission to be an innovative teaching and research institution, dedicated to educating health professionals on predictive and preventive medicine within an integrated health model.

The Physician Assistant Program now seeks to complete its dynamic faculty with an individual who can embrace and complement our mission.
We believe our new vision and namesake will collectively propel this University from a regional medical and health sciences center into an internationally recognized teaching and research institution, offering the highest quality educational experience to our students. As Dr. Franklin devoted her life's work to the discovery of the structure of DNA, we, too, have dedicated ourselves to excellence and innovation in education, clinical practice, research, and community service.

Imagine a career in a center of learning that is as innovative as the future demands, where interdisciplinary healthcare teams learn, teach, and practice together for the benefit of the whole patient. Where inner strength, in concert with clinical care skills, makes a true difference in the health and well-being of those we serve. Where we give back to the community, nurturing those around us for the good of all.

If your current position is lacking in the vision and ability to support you in doing the most of what you do best, consider joining us.
