The Center for Genomic Epidemiology (CGE), Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, is recruiting an Assistant or Associate Professor in the tenure stream.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to ongoing CGE research efforts and eventually form independent research focused on topics that are relevant to CGE research.

There are ample opportunities for collaboration across the University and for a joint academic appointment in the Graduate School of Public Health.
