Complementary programs such as the Linking the Individual Needs of Children with Services (LINCS) Complex Care Program and the JE and ZB Butler Center for Children and Families, specializing in child abuse pediatrics, further enhance the division’s breadth. Successful candidates will receive a competitive salary ranging from $175,000 to $210,000 depending on academic rank, along with the opportunity to earn additional income through productivity incentives and bonuses.
