The Department of Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) is seeking an experienced board certified nephrologist at Associate Professor or Full Professor level to lead the Division of Nephrology. The department is searching for an individual who is energetic and collegial with an established record of leadership and scholarship, and vision for strategic expansion of an academic division across the spectrum of tertiary care, education of trainees at all levels, and development of a robust research program.

Located in Jackson, MS, UMMC is the state's only academic health science center with the mission to improve the lives of Mississippians by educating tomorrow's healthcare professionals, by conducting health sciences research, and by providing cutting edge patient care. A major goal of the Medical Center is the elimination of differences in health status of Mississippians based on race, geography, income, or social status.

Considerable opportunities exist for the right candidate to develop an internationally respected nephrology division. The division provides a full spectrum of renal services including inpatient and outpatient consultative services, renal transplants, and dialysis. The UMMC physiology department, ranked in the top 10 in the United States for NIH funding, has extensive basic and translational research opportunities to study renal physiology at the Cardiovascular and Renal Research Center. UMMC is the home of two NIH cohort studies, the Jackson Heart Study, and the Atherosclerosis Risk in the Communities Study, that provide epidemiologic to translational science opportunities to study kidney disease. The new clinical trials center will provide facilities for Phase I to IV studies, including invasive human studies. The Center for Telehealth extensively links rural communities throughout Mississippi, providing novel opportunities for clinical care and implementation science research. The UMMC Patient Explorer Data Warehouse has data on over 650,000 patients and 19 million encounters including hospitalizations, clinic visits, medications, and laboratory data that are available for outcomes research, big data analysis, or preliminary/feasibility data for other projects. Many other opportunities also exist.

Resources available include potential for an endowed chair, generous start-up package, ability to hire more faculty, competitive compensation and benefits, strong support staff, and excellent career growth opportunities.
