Cardiovascular Research - Faculty
Virginia Tech
Patient Research Center
Virginia Tech (VT) seeks to recruit an innovative researcher to its new Patient Research Center (PRC) at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC (FBRI) for a tenured or tenure‑track faculty position at the associate or full professor level. The PRC initiative has received substantial funding support to launch this major exciting new program.
The successful candidate will preferably have both earned a Ph.D. degree and an additional advanced degree such as M.D., Pharm. D. or D.V.M. and an active extramurally funded research program that includes a human patient‑based clinical research component, while it may also include a more basic laboratory‑based research component. Applications from investigators using innovative contemporary approaches to study human cardiovascular function in health and disease with inclusion of clinical research trials in their program are welcomed. The faculty member will join 44 other faculty‑led teams at the FBRI, including 10 cardiovascular research teams. The primary responsibility for the position is to lead a strong extramurally funded leading‑edge research program in cardiovascular science and will include some graduate teaching and mentoring of research projects of graduate, medical and undergraduate students.
The position will be located at the FBRI on Virginia Tech’s health sciences and technology campus in Roanoke, Virginia, immediately adjacent to the VTC School of Medicine and the Carilion Clinic and Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. There will be considerable opportunities to collaborate with our clinical partners. In addition to the position at the FBRI, the faculty member will also have a tenured or tenure‑track (as appropriate) appointment in a VT department from among multiple colleges.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic and growing community of scholars including scientists, physicians and physician‑scientists focused on next generation approaches to cardiovascular research directed at having dramatic impacts on understanding, prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of disorders that impact cardiac function. Candidates whose research is complementary to that of FBRI faculty in the research institute’s Center for Vascular and Heart Research and who are likely to add strengths in areas to contribute to major collaborative program funding are welcome to apply.
Research infrastructure at the FBRI currently includes over 300,000 square feet of lab, core facilities and office space. Facilities at the research institute include multiple human subject research‑dedicated 3.0T MRIs, high field MR guided PET, MR‑guided focused ultrasound for animal research, optically pumped magnetometers (OPM‑MEG), multiple cellular/molecular imaging facilities including transcriptomics and genomics analysis in addition to two human whole room calorimeters, DEXA facility and metabolic kitchen.
Please submit your application to posting # 535180 including full curriculum vitae, detailed statement of research accomplishments and plans, and teaching/mentoring philosophy. To complete the application, the applicant should also list three references with their contact information.
