The Interventional Pulmonologist serves as a full-time, clinical-track faculty member within the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Health System. The position is jointly embedded within the Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) and the Lung Center at Jackson Memorial, reflecting the dual programmatic mission of supporting a high-volume lung transplant program and a comprehensive lung nodule and thoracic oncology service.

The incumbent will deliver the full spectrum of advanced interventional pulmonology care, encompassing complex bronchoscopic procedures, central airway management, pleural interventions, and multidisciplinary procedural support. In addition to the primary clinical mission, the position carries defined academic, educational, and administrative responsibilities consistent with a faculty appointment at a major academic medical center.

Organizational Relationships

The faculty member reports directly to the Program Director of the Lung Center and Lung Transplant Program at Jackson Memorial Health System. The Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) and the Lung Center at Jackson Memorial constitute a unified programmatic structure, and this position operates across both missions as a single integrated appointment. The role functions within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and maintains close working relationships with Thoracic Surgery, Lung Transplant Surgery, Transplant Pulmonology, Medical and Thoracic Oncology, Interventional Radiology, and Pathology. The faculty member is responsible for the direct supervision and mentorship of Pulmonary and Critical Care fellows, internal medicine residents, and medical students rotating through the interventional pulmonology service.

Minimum Qualifications

Clinical Expertise

Demonstrated competency in advanced bronchoscopic procedures is required, including flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, airway stenting, tumor debulking, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, and pleuroscopy. Experience in the pre- and post-procedural management of lung transplant candidates and recipients, and familiarity with the multidisciplinary evaluation of indeterminate pulmonary nodules, are strongly preferred.

Clinical Duties and Responsibilities

Bronchoscopic and Procedural Services

The incumbent will independently perform and supervise the full range of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic and pleural procedures appropriate to a high-volume academic interventional pulmonology program. Procedures are performed across the bronchoscopy suite and operating room, with complexity and modality determined by clinical indication. The faculty member is expected to maintain procedural proficiency across the scope of contemporary interventional pulmonology practice, including advanced bronchoscopic techniques for airway evaluation and management, tissue sampling, and therapeutic intervention.
