Full/Associate Professor-Tenure Track-Alzheimers Disease Genetics and Genomics-Division of Neuropathology and Neurodegeneration

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Associate or Full Professor position in the tenure track. Expertise is required in the specific area of human genetics/genomics, computer science, bioinformatics, neuroscience, neurology, or related fields. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or Ph.D equivalent degree required.

Teaching responsibilities may include mentoring of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows, as well as formal course directing and lecture opportunities within the Perelman School of Medicine.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include (1) Identification of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's Disease utilizing PNGC's extensive data collection and cutting-edge genomic analysis tools; (2) Development of genomic biomarkers for early diagnosis and risk prediction using genetic and genomic approaches; (3) Functional genomics and mechanisms of neurodegeneration genetic susceptibility; (4) Therapeutic target discovery and validation by integrating human genetic and functional data; (5) Investigation of the genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases across diverse populations to understand health disparities.
