Full Professor in Reproductive Genomics and Data Sciences at Magee-Womens Research Institute and the University of Pittsburgh’s Departments of OBGYN and Reproductive Sciences

We seek to recruit an exceptional tenure-track or tenured faculty member with a Ph.D., MD, or equivalent degree at Magee-Womens Research Institute and the University of Pittsburgh’s Departments of OBGYN and Reproductive Sciences. We target applicants who plan to develop a cutting-edge research program in gynecologic cancer biology to both understand the basic biology of cancer and develop possible applications to diagnostics, therapeutics, and personalized medicine.

Applicants should demonstrate outstanding academic research productivity, and an excellent past or promising future funding track record. We value applicants who may benefit from our active collaborations between Magee Women's Research Institute, Magee Womens Hospital, and the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. The selected candidate will join our cross-disciplinary, collaborative environment of over 70 faculty members at the internationally recognized Magee-Womens Research Institute, one of the largest institutes dedicated entirely to reproductive biology and women’s health. Research at the Institute centers on embryonic, fetal, and placental development, pregnancy, microbiology, gonadal biology, female and male fertility, gynecology, pelvic floor health, female cancer, health services, and wellness. Intense translational and clinical research bridges basic discoveries with mechanistic, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches for clinical applications. Our modern facility spans 125,000 sq ft of laboratories, core facilities, and animal research units. While participation in a clinical activity is not required, it may be an option for clinician candidates.

The salary will be commensurate with qualifications, experience, and responsibilities. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to scholarly activities and to teach graduate and post-graduate medical and Ph.D. trainees. The selected candidate will be a member of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and will receive a competitive start-up package, salary and faculty benefits.
