Employment OpportunitiesThe Department seeks well-qualified applicants who are committed to excellence in research, teaching, and patient care. Open faculty positions and postdoctoral fellowship positions are listed below. Staff openings are posted on the clinical laboratories pages. The University of Rochester is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and welcomes diversity in its faculty and staff. Faculty PositionsAcademic Gastrointestinal Surgical PathologistThe University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry is currently recruiting a senior surgical pathologist at the level of Associate Professor or Full Professor with subspecialty expertise in gastrointestinal surgical pathology. The successful applicant will have MD or MD/PhD degrees, be board certified in AP or AP/CP, have a minimum of 5 years post-fellowship practice in surgical pathology, and will be expected to maintain an active research program, to participate in resident and medical school teaching and to mentor junior faculty and residents/fellows interested in GI pathology. The Medical Center is rapidly expanding its research programs and has recently recruited a new head of Gastroenterology and chair of Surgery, both with established international reputations in gastrointestinal disease. There are multiple opportunities for collaborative research and for the development of clinical initiatives through interactions with members of the Medical Center, including members of the Cancer Center and the new Aab Institutes of Biomedical Sciences in the fields of cancer biology, immunology, aging and genetics. Interested individuals should send their CV and a list of three references to:
Renal PathologistThe Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry currently seeks an anatomical/surgical pathologist with subspecialty expertise in renal pathology, including primary renal disease and renal transplantation. The successful applicant will have MD or MD/PhD degrees or equivalent, be board certified or eligible in AP or AP/CP, and have had fellowship training in renal pathology or a minimum of 2 years experience in renal biopsy interpretation. Faculty appointment will be commensurate with experience and training. The appointee will participate in resident and medical school teaching and be active in clinical, translational, or basic research. The appointee also will have opportunity to participate in other service activities in Anatomic Pathology. The University of Rochester Medical Center has busy adult and pediatric nephrology units, highly successful renal, liver, and heart transplant programs, and an active regional renal biopsy referral service. There are multiple opportunities for collaborative research and/or for development of clinical initiatives through interactions with members of other departments and entities throughout the Medical Center, including those in the Cancer Center, the Cardiovascular Research Institute, and the new Aab Institutes of Biomedical Sciences in the fields of cancer biology, immunology, aging and genetics. Interested individuals should send their CV and a list of three references to:
Postdoctoral FellowshipsResearch: Bone PathologyApplications are invited from suitably qualified individuals to study the role of NF-kappaB and src signaling in osteoclasts, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Applicants should have experience in bone cell biology and in signal transduction by factors such as NF-kappaB and AP-1. The fellow will further explore the role of these in bone cell function in normal and disease states. Please submit a current CV and names of referees by e-mail to Brendan Boyce (brendan_boyce@urmc.rochester.edu). Research: CardiologyPostdoctoral fellow position is immediately available in the study of voltage-gated cardiac K+channel modulation by kinases. Candidates should have a strong background in cellular electrophysiology. Although previous experience in cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology is not required, preference will be given to individuals with training and/or expertise in one or more of these areas. Please send a curriculum vitae and a statement of research interest to Dr. Haodong Xu, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY 14642. E-mail: Haodong_Xu@URMC.Rochester.edu Research: LeukemiasPostdoctoral positions are available immediately at the University of Rochester to investigate molecular mechanisms in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome using the mouse as a model system. Our lab focuses on the zinc finger oncoprotein EVI1, and has developed a number of genetic models to investigate its function. Please send CV and names of three references to Archibald S. Perkins (archibald_perkins@URMC.rochester.edu). Research: PLSCR Gene FamilyWe are recruiting Ph.D.'s & M.D.'s to participate in various
NIH-funded research projects relating to the molecular structure
and function of members of the phospholipid scramblase (PLSCR)
gene family. Projects are aimed at elucidating participation
of PLSCRs in diverse signaling pathways underlying proliferation,
differentiation, and apoptosis. Gene knockout mice are available
for these studies. Successful applicants will have expertise
in either molecular and cellular biology, animal physiology,
protein chemistry, or structural biology. Interested individuals
should submit their CV and the names of three references to
Therese
Wiedmer (therese_wiedmer@urmc.rochester.edu) or Peter
Sims (peter_sims@urmc.rochester.edu). |
