The professorial rank will be determined according to the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience. This is a Contract Academic Staff position and does not confer eligibility for tenure.

The Department of Pediatrics is a leader in academic child health. Our educational and research missions support excellent and innovative clinical programs. The Montreal Children’s Hospital is one of McGill’s major teaching hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Canada’s internationally renowned McGill University, located in the vibrant and multicultural city of Montreal. All major pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties are represented at the MCH.

The Division of Pediatric Respiratory Medicine provides a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services and consists of eight full-time McGill faculty members and several associate staff physicians, delivering multidisciplinary care across the full spectrum of respiratory and sleep disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.

Our Sleep and Ventilation program includes two full-time and several part-time subspecialist physicians, a nurse practitioner, three dedicated nurses, and numerous respiratory therapists within the Montreal Children’s Hospital Sleep Laboratory and Clinic practice. This team participates in new consultations,



follow-up clinical activities, and sleep test interpretations. This advertised position is for a third, full-time pediatric respirologist with training and/or expertise in sleep medicine and/or long-term home ventilation to further supplement the group and this growing field.

The Respiratory Division also operates a Pulmonary Function Testing Laboratory, including advanced physiologic evaluation such as cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). In addition, the Division maintains a robust diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy program, including airway evaluation, bronchoalveolar lavage, and cryotherapy.

The Division works closely with ENT, Complex Care Pediatrics, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Genetics, Neonatology, Intensive Care, and allied health teams to deliver advanced, integrated pediatric respiratory and sleep medicine care.

The successful candidate will focus on clinical activities in Pediatric Respiratory Medicine and with a significant portion of time in Sleep Medicine, provide outpatient and inpatient care, supervise trainees, and participate in academic rounds and scholarly contributions to the field. Compensation is based on a hybrid mode derived in part from fee-for-service billings. This hybrid model provides annual compensation which is significantly above the median pediatric respirology income across Canada.
