    The University of Virginia Department of Pediatrics and Division of Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (NDBP) invite applications for Division Director of NDBP. Applicants who are Board certified in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) or Neurodevelopmental Disability (NDD) at the rank of Associate or Full Professor are encouraged to apply. This position may be tenure-eligible depending on the candidate’s credentials.

    The Division Director is primarily responsible for creating and implementing the vision and goals for NDBP, in alignment with the broader strategic plans for the Department of Pediatrics and UVA Health Children’s. The Division Director will lead the faculty in all clinical and academic mission areas, including clinical service (see 3 Tracks of Care below), education of trainees at all levels (keeping our long standing DBP fellowship in good standing), research program development, and administrative activities of all NDBP programs. Academic responsibilities include overseeing all divisional faculty (currently 8 MDs and 1 NP/PhD, and one Research PhD), advancing their careers by providing professional and personal development opportunities, overseeing high-quality training, supporting research activities, and modeling a culture of inquiry to ensure active engagement in quality improvement, scholarly excellence, and innovation in all missions. This role extends to the experienced Advanced Practice providers (6 NPs) in the division. Administrative responsibilities include creating an environment of excellence and innovation in clinical practice that supports positive patient outcomes. The NDBP closely collaborates with the School of Education to maintain a state-of-the-art multi-tier autism assessment program and also provides leadership and faculty for the Blue Ridge LEND. Applicants with an active research program are preferred. The ideal candidate for the UVA NDBP Division Director position is an established academic DBP/NDD with strong leadership and clinical experience in motor, cognitive, and at-risk disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders.

    The Division of NDBP is integrally involved in the highly successful HRSA funded interdisciplinary training grant, Blue Ridge Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND). The NDBP division receives over $1 M of state-level funding for work effort to support Virginia Mental Health Access Program, including training of primary care in autism assessment. The division has an integrated relationship with the pediatric psychology service, currently consisting of 7 PhD psychologists and growing. Community outreach and collaboration are priorities: majority of NDBP patients are publicly insured and we have bilingual capacity at the MD and PhD levels. We partner with a family navigator, licensed clinical social worker, and a team of educational consultants as well as therapy services (PT, OT, SLP, nutrition) amongst a Pediatric Division with 16 sub-specialties, and additionally Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, pediatric surgery, neurosurgery and neurology, and urology services. We are dedicated academicians, evidence-based practitioners, educators, scientists, and advocates, engaged daily toward improving the lives of children and youth with developmental disabilities and their families. The faculty in our Division hold/have held international, national and state leadership positions.

    The brand new (Riverside) Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Health Clinic will expand the work of the NDBP Division in a 10,000 sq foot space alongside psychology, psychiatry and integrative health care, opening in December 2024.
