What We Offer

~1 min read

We seek to enhance the department’s overall research portfolio and competitiveness for securing new external grants. Therefore, the research programs of candidates will complement existing departmental and interdepartmental strengths. Seeking out and creating new opportunities for innovation and collaboration with the Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Stravitz-Sanyal Institute for Liver Disease and Metabolic Health, the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the Center for Microbiome Engineering and Data Analysis and other departments and institutes will be a priority.

The candidate will serve as a mentor for trainees and will bring experience to support the teaching of advanced immunology in the graduate and medical schools. Experienced candidates will also be expected to mentor junior faculty. Finally, it is expected that guidance provided by the new faculty members will support trainee applications for prestigious fellowships and, ultimately for the development of successful careers. Collectively, these accomplishments will strengthen the department’s reputation as a leader among academic Microbiology and Immunology programs.

The Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, located in Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is a vibrant and distinguished community of healers, researchers, and innovators committed to advancing health and scientific discovery. We seek exceptional individuals who are dedicated scholars, accomplished scientists, and emerging leaders to join us in advancing this mission.
