Job Title: Physician – Otolaryngology, Otologist/Neurotologist (Open Rank/ Track Faculty) Department: The Division of Otology, Neurotology, and Cranial Base Surgery within the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery is seeking a highly qualified otologist or neurotologist to join our academic clinical practice.

We are recruiting a collaborative academic clinician with advanced fellowship training in otology and neurotology who is committed to delivering outstanding patient care and contributing to the department’s educational and clinical missions.

The successful candidate will join a collegial, multidisciplinary environment with strong clinical infrastructure and opportunities to help further develop comprehensive ear and hearing care services across adult and pediatric populations.

Position Overview The Otologist/Neurotologist will provide comprehensive evaluation and management of patients with a broad range of otologic and neurotologic conditions.

Clinical responsibilities include the care of patients with hearing loss, chronic ear disease, cholesteatoma, otologic infections, vestibular disorders, otologic trauma, and implantable hearing technologies.

The role includes a major focus on cochlear implantation, osseointegrated hearing solutions, and contemporary management of vestibular disorders. The physician will participate in both outpatient and surgical care and contribute to the continued growth and regional reach of the department’s ear and hearing programs.
