Donald & Mary Clark Professor in Orthopaedics

The Department of Orthopaedics and the Center for Musculoskeletal Research (CMSR: www.urmc.rochester.edu/musculoskeletal-research.aspx) at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC: www.urmc.rochester.edu) is recruiting candidates with an international reputation in Musculoskeletal Research to assume the Donald & Mary Clark Professorship in Orthopaedics. The successful candidates will benefit from a multidisciplinary musculoskeletal research community, a vibrant graduate program and state of the art infrastructure and core facilities at the University of Rochester.

Qualified candidates should hold a tenured faculty position at the Associate Professor level or higher (or equivalent position) at a research institution, have a track record of NIH funding (or equivalent) as Principal Investigator (PI), and be active in translational areas relevant to musculoskeletal science, including but not limited to: genomics, cancer biology, bone & joint biology, and aging. The Clark Professor is also expected to lead, or work towards leading, multidisciplinary programatic grants as PI (i.e. NIH P01), and to mentor junior faculty including clinicians.

The scientific interests pursued in the CMSR include musculoskeletal development, biomechanics and regenerative biology, skeletal pathology, bone cancer, arthritis, osteoimmunology and infections, musculoskeletal stem cell biology and metabolism, tissue engineering and targeted cell- and drug-delivery, population health, and artificial intelligence/machine learning.

Interested qualified candidates should submit a CV, statement of research interests/plans, and PDFs of two or three key publications to: Jaycee_Bristol@urmc.rochester.edu. Review of applications will begin upon receipt.  

The University of Rochester is an Equal Opportunity Employer and had a strong commitment to diversity and actively encourages applications from candidates from groups underrepresented in higher education.
