We are seeking 2-3 basic science research faculty (Ph.D., M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent) at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor levels who will conduct innovative research and provide strong scientific leadership while interfacing with clinical faculty to foster collaborations. Our primary goal is to recruit exceptional scientists whose work is directly influenced by or has the potential to impact women's reproductive health. Scientists working with mammalian systems will be favored. Current departmental expertise and associated interests include but are not limited to pregnancy, maternal-fetal interface and obstetric outcomes, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, gynecologic oncology, female pelvic floor dysfunction and reconstructive surgery, stem cell biology and women's mental health as it relates to reproduction. A strong record of scholarly contributions, publications and funding is desirable. For mid-career and senior-level appointments, preference will be given to those with demonstrated excellence in mentorship and teaching as well as proven record of continuous funding. A desire to work in a collaborative environment is important as interdisciplinary research efforts are highly encouraged at UMMS. Appropriate lab space and resources are available to support successful candidates. Joint appointments would be in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and an appropriate basic science department.
