Job Summary:

The Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes (BDC) at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is seeking a board certified or board eligible full-time Pediatric Endocrinologist at the rank of Assistant Professor for July 2026. This position requires enthusiasm and vision for outstanding research and clinical care in type 1 diabetes. This position offers recent Pediatric Endocrine Fellowship graduates desiring a career in academic pediatric endocrinology the opportunity to work in one of the premier diabetes centers in the country conducting research focused on development of novel technologies for the management of type 1 diabetes. The applicant should have an interest in applying for a NIH funded mentored career development award (such as a K12 through the Diabetes Docs program) or have a career development award with research focused on diabetes technology. The National Diabetes Docs K12 mentored career development award is designed to provide the 2-3 years of funded protected time a new investigator will need to develop into an investigator who is prepared to write a successful NIH or JDRF individual career development award, or an independent research award for applicants with greater research experience. Clinical work is also part of this position and is designed to maintain and expand the clinical expertise developed within the applicant's endocrine fellowship.

Key Responsibilities:

• A commitment to an academic career in type 1 diabetes research, clinical care and service.
• Creativity and independent vision to build new programs.
• Providing outpatient and inpatient clinical care for children and adolescents with diabetes.
• Participation in ongoing research projects and competing for new research grants in the area of technology.
• Participation in student, resident, and fellow education, and mentoring of junior faculty as applicable.

Please be advised that this position is not eligible now or in the future for visa sponsorship.

Work Location: This role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora, CO.

Why Join Us:

The BDC is the largest diabetes institute in the world specializing in type 1 diabetes research and care for children and adults. Over 200 clinicians, clinical researchers, basic biomedical scientists and supporting staff work at the BDC to find the most effective treatment, prevention, and cure for type 1 diabetes. The Center provides state-of-the-art diabetes care to over 7,000 children and adults with diabetes as well as inpatient care at the Children's Hospital Colorado. The dedicated Children's Diabetes Foundation has generously supported the BDC mission since 1977.

The BDC Pediatric Diabetes Division provides families and patients with an understanding of type 1 diabetes and encourages their confidence in its day-to-day management. Present evidence strongly suggests that consistent blood sugar control greatly diminishes the chances of long-term eye and kidney complications. The Pediatric Clinic offers complete education and support for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The expectation is that by the time patients are ready to leave home for college or the workforce, they will have the ability to manage their own blood sugars.
