Clinical Genetics and Genomic Medicine. The Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences of the University of Connecticut (UCONN) School of Medicine, the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM), and the Connecticut Children's Medical Center (CCMC) are inviting applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level to serve as the Chief of the Division of Medical Genetics. The successful applicant will hold an MD or MD/PhD degree and have board-certification in Clinical Genetics. Their research should focus on the use of genetic and genomic strategies to advance precision medicine, understand human biology, identify the complex functional networks underlying health and disease, and/or the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics. Candidates will benefit from a highly interactive and cooperative culture established between the participating institutions that encourages translational research and clinical practice. The successful candidate has the potential to be cross appointed at all three institutions, as well as within the UCONN Institute for Systems Genomics, and may have the option of housing their research program in the new, state-of-the-art JAX-GM facility on the UCONN School of Medicine campus in Farmington, CT. Successful candidates will complement a highly interdisciplinary environment that brings together clinicians, biologists, molecular geneticists, computer scientists, and quantitative scientists.
