As part of a broad institutional initiative in integrative biomedical sciences (IBio), Wayne State University is recruiting for faculty position (tenured or tenure-track, open rank) in the integrative biology of cardiometabolic health and disease. The recruitment seeks to complement existing IBio strengths in cell biology, lipid metabolism, and cardiometabolic physiology. Of particular interest are investigators addressing molecular and cellular processes that impact energy metabolism, metabolic signaling, and cardiovascular function.
Successful applicants will benefit from a highly collaborative research environment working with colleagues throughout the University. Candidates must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in biomedical sciences relevant to metabolic diseases, with evidence of peer recognition in the field, a commitment to excellence in research education and training, and the ability to engage with broader integrative science themes for the purpose of achieving transformative and translational research gains. Applicants are expected to have already established extramural research funding or be on a clear path to secure and sustain extramural funding in support of their research programs. Faculty recruits will integrate with departments and colleges or schools consistent with their areas of expertise and interests and engage in all aspects of our academic mission, including research, education and service.
Competitive recruitment packages are available with salary and faculty rank based on qualifications. Applicants are encouraged to apply to posting #046049 through the Online Hiring System https://jobs.wayne.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/Welcome_css.jsp
Applications will be accepted until positions are filled, but for full consideration, application materials should be submitted by February 15, 2022.
