| Title: Assistant Prof., Associate Prof., Professor Position Number: F1997 |
| Deadline: Open until Filled | Type of Search: National |
| Description: Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine is developing a new initiative in functional lipidomics/metabolomics and invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position No. F1996 and F1997 to spearhead this initiative. |
| Qualifications: Candidates should have a research program with a record of sustained productivity and current extramural funding. Substantial resources are available to support recruitment of an outstanding investigator in the general area of lipidomics or metabolomics. Candidates will be considered for the rank of Assistant, Associate or full Professor, based upon qualifications and experience. Applicants should have a M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent degree and will be expected to contribute to the University’s teaching mission as well as develop vigorous collaborative efforts with other VCU researchers. VCU’s research expertise is spread across several programs having national prominence in terms of NIH-funded research ranking. VCU has a very active and expanding critical mass of investigators whose research is focused on metabolism and signaling of bioactive lipids in cancer, inflammation, atherosclerosis, heart and lung disorders, cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in liver disorders, and insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. These programs have a history of strong and successful research and training programs. However, this search is not necessarily focused on existing areas of strength and invites outstanding applications covering any aspect of lipidomics or metabolomics. |
| Application Process: More information about the School of Medicine and Departments, and this open position can be found at http://www.vcu.edu/biochem/. Applicants should submit by email a CV, names and e-mail addresses of three references, and a summary of research and teaching interests to: Dr. Robert F.
