• Golisano Children’s Alliance – The Golisano Children’s Alliance, generously funded by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and civic leader Tom Golisano, marks a major milestone in advancing pediatric healthcare. The Alliance unites 15 children’s hospitals across 12 states to share expertise, expand specialized services, and ensure that families have access to exceptional care as close to home as possible.
• Academic rank of Associate or Full Professor in a clinician-educator or tenure track; exceptional Assistant Professors nearing promotion to Associate Professor will also be considered.
