Job Description
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Associate or Full Professor position in the tenure track. Expertise is required in the specific area of human genetics/genomics computer science bioinformatics neuroscience neurology or related fields. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or Ph.D equivalent degree required.
Teaching responsibilities may include mentoring of PhD students postdoctoral researchers teaching of medical students residents and fellows as well as formal course directing and lecture opportunities within the Perelman School of Medicine.
Research or scholarship responsibilities may include 1 Identification of genetic risk factors for Alzheimers Disease utilizing PNGCs extensive data collection and cuttingedge genomic analysis tools; 2 Development of genomic biomarkers for early diagnosis and risk prediction using genetic and genomic approaches; 3 Functional genomics and mechanisms of neurodegeneration genetic susceptibility; 4 Therapeutic target discovery and validation by integrating human genetic and functional data; 5 Investigation of the genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases across diverse populations to understand health disparities.
The Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC) at the University of Pennsylvania is a premier research institute at the forefront of understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases. PNGC is renowned for its interdisciplinary approach combining genomics bioinformatics neuroscience and clinical research. Our faculty members benefit from the centers substantial grant funding and leadership roles in major consortia and unparalleled opportunities for highimpact research and access to extensive biobank resources. PNGC is uniquely positioned to drive groundbreaking discoveries in conditions including Alzheimers disease Progress Supranuclear Palsy and other related dementias.
