We are seeking a skilled Neonatologist to deliver specialized care for critically ill and premature infants in Level III and IV NICUs at our facility. This role involves collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, including maternal-fetal medicine and pediatric subspecialists. Responsibilities include daytime attending duties, participation in high-risk delivery services, night call coverage, and active involvement in academic and quality improvement projects. A faculty appointment at the local medical school is available, and candidates must hold board certification in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine.

Our organization is looking for a dedicated and compassionate Neonatologist to join our esteemed team in Indianapolis. As a leader in neonatal care, we treat over 3,500 newborns each year across our Level IV and Level III NICUs. Our multidisciplinary team, which includes board-certified neonatologists, advanced practice providers, and pediatric subspecialists, offers comprehensive, lifesaving care that often begins before birth and continues throughout the NICU stay and beyond. We collaborate closely with maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric surgical and medical subspecialties, and neurodevelopmental follow-up programs to ensure family-centered care. This is an exciting chance to be part of a vibrant academic environment where your clinical skills, enthusiasm for teaching, and commitment to innovation will have a significant impact.

Our program consistently ranks among the top in the nation according to various reports and is noted for handling complex patient cases. Additionally, the Riley Maternity Tower features a 45-bed Level III NICU, a dedicated labor and delivery unit, and one of the few obstetrical intensive care units in the country.

Together, these units create the largest NICU in Indiana and one of the largest in the United States, providing unparalleled opportunities for clinical practice, education, and innovation in maternal and neonatal medicine.
