Description

The Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center ( https://www.urag.net ) invites applications for a basic science tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank. We seek outstanding candidates with PhD and/or MD-PhD degree(s) and at least two years of post-doctoral training, with research interests in mitochondria and metabolism. Individuals with a clear potential to secure extramural funding for their research program, and who will synergize with the collaborative environment of the Department and the University's strategic plan, are sought.

The Department has a strong track record as a home for mitochondrial research, and currently houses programs of excellence in the study of mitochondria in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and model organisms. URMC's Mitochondrial Research Interest Group (MRIG) provides a collaborative forum with weekly meetings for 16 mitochondria-focused labs, and recently hosted a large national mitochondrial conference (TRiMAD 2024). The Department also has strengths in outcomes and pain research, with considerable research support infrastructure within the Department and in partnership with the Department of Pharmacology & Physiology.

While applicants with research interests in all areas of mitochondrial biology are encouraged to apply, candidates with expertise in cardiovascular medicine, cancer and neuroscience are of particular interest. The successful applicant will receive a competitive start-up package, generous laboratory space, and access to a wide range of state-of-the-art core facilities. The University of Rochester Medical Center, the School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the adjacent Schools of Arts, Sciences and Engineering are part of a private, world-class research university, providing excellent opportunities for highly diverse, cross-disciplinary interactions and collaborations. A low cost of living and 5 of the top 100 U.S. high schools make Rochester an excellent place to raise a family. The surrounding Finger Lakes region offers 4-season recreational opportunities, scenic beauty, and internationally recognized classical and jazz music, dance, and theater.
