Faculty may engage in teaching, research, and service. Teaching Associates hold annual appointments that align with a 12‑month service period (July 1‑June 30) and may be reappointed to subsequent annual terms.

Faculty with 12‑month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12‑month period (July‑June), meaning one month is available for paid time off.

Other compensation may include payments for vacancy coverage or premiums for factors such as acuity, nights, and call, should they apply to service.

Only compensation provided by the University is included in University benefit determinations and calculations. Compensation from UWP may provide eligibility for separate benefits offered by that organization.

The successful candidate will be incorporated into the inpatient team caring for emergency general surgery patients primarily at the UW Medical Center Northwest campus and, as needed, for post‑hospital follow‑up. The faculty appointment includes teaching of residents and medical students. This is an opportunity to work within an academic teaching hospital with a multidisciplinary team in the care for both elective and urgent/emergent general surgical patients.
