Department Chair, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) at East Carolina University has
partnered with Merritt Hawkins to find an enthusiastic and
accomplished Department Chair to lead the Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. BSOM, under the guidance of its
new Dean, Mark Stacy, is making significant investments in research
infrastructure and working to establish itself as a
nationally-recognized research institute.
Highlights:
In addition to instructing medical and graduate students,
faculty in the department are actively engaged in basic science and
translational research with focus areas that include gene
expression and epigenetics, germ cell biology, cancer and
tumorigenesis, metabolic dysfunction, post-translational regulation
of protein function, and protein structure function
determination.
Working with the Dean and the faculty, the Chair will be
responsible for establishing a long-term vision to develop a
nationally-recognized, state-of-the-art research program while
maintaining the department's high quality of student training.
To implement a long-term vision and expand on the current
strengths of the department, the Chair will have the opportunity to
immediately recruit several new faculty - in case you want to bring
someone that supports your research with you. We have two positions
set aside for this.
BSOM grants both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees plus Master's degrees
in Public Health and Biomedical Sciences. With a student body of ~
470 students and 450 faculty members and research scientists, BSOM
currently receives ~ $20 million in external grants and
contracts
A successful Chair candidate will:
Have a doctorate degree in a relevant basic/translational
science field, meet the school qualifications for tenure, and
provide evidence of leadership qualities and strategic
development.
Have an established, federally-funded research program and
documented evidence of excellence and commitment to research,
teaching, administration, and service.
Key Responsibilities:
Provide overall leadership to research programs, including new
and established research directions; lead efforts to accomplish
BSOM and ECU research goals
Ensure all faculty (i.e., fixed-term, tenure-track and tenured)
receive professional and career development counseling and support
to optimize their potential for success
Monitor and supervise the use of intramural and extramural
funds, including indirect recovery funds and the Faculty
Compensation Plan, in a manner that maximizes the quantity and
quality of research in the department
Develop an annual department budget and responsibly manage
funds assigned to the department
The recruitment efforts are being handled by Breanna Trimble,
Vice President for academic and executive recruiting at Merritt
Hawkins. Please send your CV to
and you will be contacted immediately. Category: Education , Keywords: Department Chair
