The successful candidate will have a proven record of publication demonstrating expertise in mechanistic studies defining the molecular basis of disease. The successful candidate needs to have outstanding verbal and written communication skills, state-of-the-art experimental laboratory skills, and the ability to effectively collaborate with other investigators, students, fellows and research assistants.

Junior faculty will have a mentoring committee. The selected candidate will also be expected to participate in graduate student training, instruction of medical and dental students, and serve on departmental committees.
