Faculty Position, Center for Genetic Epidemiology, Department of
Preventive Medicine. The newly founded Center for Genetic
Epidemiology within the Department of Preventive Medicine at the
University of Southern California (USC) invites applications for a
full-time clinical (non-tenure track) assistant professor level
position. The successful candidate is expected to bring or develop
an externally funded research program in genetic or molecular
epidemiology. Current areas of research activity include studies of
genetic susceptibility, biomarkers, metabolomics and the microbiome
as they relate to health disparities for common chronic diseases
and phenotypes including cancer and metabolic diseases including
diabetes. Expertise in genomic analysis and in the initiation of
population-based resources for studies of the molecular and genetic
basis of disease is desired. The Center for Genetic Epidemiology is
closely linked with the Departments of Preventive Medicine,
Translational Genomics and Computational Biology and
Bioinformatics. The Department of Preventive Medicine is one of the
nations leading research programs in epidemiology and
biostatistics, with particular expertise in genetics research in
diverse populations, such as the Multiethnic Cohort resource. The
Departments of Translational Genomics and Computational Biology and
Bioinformatics provide key expertise in the technological,
methodological and statistical aspects of genome research.
Together, these Departments offer opportunities for a wide range of
research collaborations, leadership roles, teaching and mentoring
of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Candidates should
have a demonstrated publication and funding record and leadership
within the field of genetic population-based research and molecular
epidemiology commensurate with stage of career. Collegiality,
resourcefulness and motivation are highly desirable characteristics
of the successful candidate.
