PULMONARY SCIENTISTS AND CLINICIANS
The University of South Alabama College of Medicine has recently announced the formation of an interdisciplinary Center for Lung Biology whose objective is to enhance clinical, translational, and basic research in the pulmonary sciences. As part of this initiative, the Department of Medicine is recruiting 3-4 pulmonologists at all academic ranks, including a Division Chief, to catalyze scientific emergence of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. Competitive start-up support as well as newly-renovated laboratory space within the Center for Lung Biology are available. Suitable candidates will have at least 80% of their time protected for research program development. One of the unique attributes of this opportunity is the presence of a number of NIH-funded MD- and PhD-members of the Center who are dedicated to mentoring newly recruited junior faculty to the point where they can secure independent NIH-research support. In addition, there are available outstanding, user-friendly core research facilities, including microarray, gene delivery, biomedical imaging, transgenic animal, oligonucleotide and macromolecular synthesis, and proteomics laboratories. The College also houses one of the world’s largest neotropical primate colonies. Substantial opportunities exist for the development of strategically-focused clinical or translational research programs as well. The University has inaugurated an ambitious technology transfer program, including the construction of an on-campus research and development park, which may be appealing to entrepreneurially-oriented pulmonary scientists and clinicians.
