University of Pennsylvania • Philadelphia, PA • 3h ago

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, CHOP Cardiovascular Institute (CVI) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for an Assistant Professor position in the tenure track. Expertise is required in the specific area of fundamental mechanistic or translational research relevant to pediatric cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to: cardiac development and regeneration, immune or metabolic origins of cardiovascular disease, heritable cardiac diseases such as cardiac channelopathies, cardiomyopathies, and aortopathies/vasculopathies, precision- and genetics-based therapeutics, bioengineering approaches and novel technologies for cardiovascular research and therapeutics. Applicants must have an M.D and/or Ph.D or equivalent degree.

The faculty appointment will be in the Department of Pediatrics or an academic department in the Perelman School of Medicine that is consistent with the scientific expertise of the successful candidate.

Teaching responsibilities may include participating in graduate and/or medical student education; mentoring trainees at multiple career stages; presenting lectures and leading didactic sessions as appropriate.

Clinical responsibilities may include outpatient and inpatient consults and attending duties for qualified clinician-scientists. Clinical responsibilities are not applicable for basic scientist candidates.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include establishing and maintaining a scientifically impactful independent research program that has relevance to pediatric heart and vascular disease; sustaining significant extramural funding.

Candidates will be members of the newly established CHOP Cardiovascular Institute (CVI). The successful candidate will develop an independent, extramurally supported research program focused on fundamental or translational questions relevant to pediatric heart and vascular biology and disease.

CHOP is a world class leader in the delivery of pediatric care, research, and training pediatric leaders of the future. The pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery groups within the CHOP Cardiac Center are well-known as innovative leaders in the care of children with congenital forms of heart and vascular disease, and in the development of breakthrough therapeutics and diagnostics. Recently, the CHOP CVI was launched with the primary mission of establishing a world-class comprehensive research center that spans basic discovery to translation and clinical implementation relevant to pediatric heart and vascular diseases. The CHOP CVI will be linked in collaborative partnership with the Penn CVI, home to renowned basic and translational scientists. This partnership will provide support and infrastructure for discovery, translational, and clinical research aimed at cardiovascular health and disease across the entire lifespan.

Candidates need to demonstrate potential for independent, high-impact scholarship; vision and commitment for leveraging the rich and uniquely collaborative and translational environment at CHOP and Penn to tackle fundamental questions in pediatric cardiology.

Competitive start-up package and laboratory space, protected time for the establishment of an independent research program, and institutional mentoring and career-development resources will be provided. The CHOP CVI is a newly launched, comprehensive research center spanning basic discovery through translation and clinical implementation for pediatric cardiovascular health. CHOP CVI is in close partnership with many key CHOP/Penn Institutes and Centers, including the Penn Cardiovascular Institute, CHOP Cardiac Center, CHOP Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine, and Penn Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.

The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates are considered for employment without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, creed, national origin (including shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics), citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status or any class protected under applicable federal, state, or local law.
