General Description

The Johns Hopkins All Children's Institute for Fundamental Biomedical Research (IFBR) is recruiting for a basic science research faculty member to be located on the St. Petersburg, Florida campus. The selected candidate will hold a full time tenure-track faculty appointment with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHUSOM), rank commensurate with experience (Assistant, Associate or full Professor).

We are interested in candidates whose proposed research has broad relevance to the control of metabolism related to disease states with relevance to children's health. Additionally, preferred research areas include, but are not limited to genomics, epigenomics, nuclear receptor research, lipid signaling, bioinformatics, transcriptional and system level analyses of cells and tissues involved in whole body metabolism and/or disease processes.  Candidates whose research offers translational potential in obesity, diabetes, endocrine, inflammatory or degenerative diseases are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Faculty opportunity requires a PhD or MD/PhD in Biological Science or related field with outstanding training and experience in research pertaining to one of the focus areas noted above. Candidates are expected to establish rigorous and competitive basic research programs addressing unmet clinical needs, and to secure support from diverse funding sources. Applicants are also expected to collaborate with existing members of IFBR and other Johns Hopkins faculty located both in Florida and Baltimore. Successful candidates are expected to have an impressive publication record and exceptional research accomplishments consistent with their academic level. Proven ability to secure external funding would be a plus.

The newly hired faculty member will join a cluster of 9 JHUSOM basic science faculty with research space in the Johns Hopkins All Children's Research and Education Building. This state of the art $95M 230,000 square foot building is home to basic science, clinical and translational research as well as educational programs including a Medical Simulation Center. The building includes over 40,000 square feet of wet laboratory space, an accredited centralized pediatric biorepository, a tissue-based research and diagnostics core, BSL3 facilities, an onsite vivarium, as well as extensive areas for collaborative discussion. Additional onsite support for our investigators includes access to state-of-the-art Shared Resources and Equipment for cutting edge biomedical research. IFBR faculty also have full access to the research service centers and cores on the JHU SOM Baltimore campus as well.

Interested applicants should upload a copy of their CV, cover letter, and a statement of research interest including future plans.
