Description:
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for an Associate Professor position in the non-tenure clinician educator track. Expertise is required in the specific area of Genomic Diagnostics and the successful candidate will serve as an Assistant or Associate Director within the Division of Genomic Diagnostics to meet the needs of our expanding program. Candidates must hold American Board of Medical Genetics certification (or eligibility) in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics or Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics, or Molecular Genetic Pathology certification following Pathology residency. Physicians must be eligible/licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Experience with Next Generation Sequencing is required. Applicants must have an M.D. and/or Ph.D degree.
Teaching responsibilities may include teaching of fellows, residents, medical and graduate students.
Clinical responsibilities may include performing a wide range of tests for diagnosis of both constitutional and cancer disorders, although the successful candidate will focus primarily on constitutional disorders. Responsibilities include clinical test sign-out for our primarily pediatric population, quality control, innovation and test development.
Research or scholarship responsibilities may include developing a national reputation in an area of academic focus, with this work being either investigator-initiated or collaborative and associated with appropriate publications and some degree of funding. The Perelman School of Medicine and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are known for emphasis on translational research and the candidate will be expected to demonstrate a strong record/potential in clinical, translational or collaborative research.
The CE track at Penn is a standing faculty track with expectations of clinical, research and teaching activities.
We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense. The University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are EOEs. Minorities/women/individuals with disabilities/protected veterans are encouraged to apply.
Organization
Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania! Penn is the largest private employer in Philadelphia and is a world-renowned leader in education, research, and innovation.
Across our 12 highly-regarded schools, more than 25,000 students, and more than 4,000 faculty members, we become one university: a wide-ranging, ever-changing community that draws its strength from a multitude of races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, historical traditions, ages, religions, disabilities, veteran status, interests, perspectives, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Penn carries on the principles and spirit of its founder, Benjamin Franklin: entrepreneurship, innovation, invention, outreach, and a pragmatic love of knowledge. Franklin's practical outlook has remained a driving force in the university's development. To learn more, visit About Penn.
Vision
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Diversity
Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.
Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
