ranks, the primary emphasis is on recruiting an outstanding assistant professor-level investigator. The Department of Pathology and Translational Pathobiology is a central driver of research growth at LSU Health Shreveport, with expanding faculty programs and strong institutional investment in biomedical research. The department leads the institution in extramural funding and supports a highly collaborative environment spanning cardiovascular disease, metabolism, and inflammation. We are particularly interested in candidates building research programs that intersect with institutional strengths in cancer biology, including cardio-oncology, cancer metabolism, immuno-oncology, and cancer-associated cardiovascular or inflammatory mechanisms. LSU Health Shreveport provides a collaborative academic medical center environment with strong infrastructure and institutional support for research development and faculty success. Faculty benefit from collaborative opportunities through major center-level programs, including the NIH-funded CoBRE Center for Redox Biology and Cardiovascular Disease and the NSF EPSCoR CREST Center for Post-Transcriptional Regulation. These programs provide access to shared core facilities supporting molecular signaling, analytical redox biology, genotyping, animal phenotyping, metabolomics, and iPSC-based model systems, enabling a wide range of mechanistic and translational research. Additional collaborative opportunities are available through the Feist-Weiller Cancer Center, which supports cancer-focused research through pilot funding, shared resources, and access to clinical collaborations. Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, funding statement, teaching statement, and contact information for three references to:
