Tenure Track Assistant Professor: Molecular Medicine Division - Military Veterans
at HERC- Upper MidWest
About the Division of Molecular Medicine
The Department of Medicine's Division of Molecular Medicine consists of faculty members who share the common goal of using molecular approaches to the understanding of human disease. A major theme in the division is the use of mouse models to investigate human diseases. Although the division is research-oriented, individual faculty carry out clinical and teaching activities in the Department of Medicine and in various subspecialties. The division serves as a common interdisciplinary corridor for research-oriented faculty and students in the MD, PhD program.
The division is dedicated to better understanding the molecular and cellular basis of human disease and translating this into new diagnostics and therapeutics. To advance this mission, we are currently seeking applications from outstanding investigators who will be appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track).
