FACULTY POSITION IN GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY
The Genetics Program is inviting individuals with advanced training and experience in genetic epidemiology to apply for a faculty position at the assistant-/ associate-professor level. The successful candidate will join a highly accomplished team of multidisciplinary researchers including several genetic epidemiologists and assume a leadership position on projects in the Genetic Epidemiology Center. The Genetics Program is particularly interested in persons capable of designing and executing analyses in large collaborative gene mapping projects, and developing an independent research program in complex disorders and diseases of urban populations. Active participation in teaching of graduate and medical students is also expected. The research environment is enhanced by state-of-the-art computing facilities (including two linux clusters comprised of 300+ processors dedicated to genetic epidemiology projects), a molecular genetics core facility within the Genetics Program, a novel graduate training program in molecular medicine, strong epidemiology and biostatistics programs in the School of Public Health, large and accessible patient populations, and numerous opportunities for collaborative clinical and basic research. Applicants must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience and expertise.
