About the role

Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit invites applications for the Chair of The Michael and Marian Ilitch Department of Surgery. The Chair will provide strategic leadership across WSUSOM and partner institutions, oversee clinical programs, education, and research, and serve as Surgeon-in-Chief at the Detroit Medical Center. The role requires an MD or MD/PhD with board certification, a strong national reputation, and a record of program development and mentoring.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
