Faculty Search at the Center for Systems Biology, MGH Research Institute
Assistant Professor of Pathology
The Center for Systems Biology (CSB)and Department of Pathology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Research Institute and Harvard Medical School (HMS), in Boston are seeking an outstanding scientist for a faculty position. The Department of Pathology (Chair: David Louis) is one of the premier Pathology departments in the US and has a vibrant research program. The CSB (Director: Ralph Weissleder) is one of the five interdisciplinary thematic Centers at the MGH and is located in the Simches Research Building on the MGH campus.
Areas of interest include computational pathology and machine learning with a strong focus on analysis and modeling of cellular and molecular-scale measurements of single cells in tissue, including highly multiplexed protein measurements, single cell genetic studies, imaging mass cytometry, 3D imaging at single cell resolution, as well as mathematical and engineering approaches directed toward understanding of tissue organization and disease progression. Our goals are to decipher how human biology functions in health and disease, and to apply newly learned knowledge to develop new diagnostics, biomarkers and therapies.
The applicant should have a strong research plan, which should synergize with ongoing basic, applied and translational research efforts at CSB and Pathology at MGH Research Institute. The successful candidates will be expected to build and maintain an internationally recognized, extramurally funded research program. The candidate should enjoy working collaboratively with other scientists.
The search is for candidate(s) to be hired at the Instructor or Assistant Professor level at HMS. Applicants should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. or equivalent degree. Competitive candidates have an exceptional track record in basic or translational research, a history of independent funding and the potential to develop an outstanding, visionary and independent research program that supports the ultimate goal of multiplexed tissue analysis to prevent and cure human diseases.
Interested candidates should submit application materials electronically. Each application must include one PDF file with: i) a cover letter; ii) a curriculum vitae; iii) a research plan with statement of impact. You are required to provide three or more references who will be contacted automatically to upload reference letters. Only completed applications will be reviewed.
