Open Positions: |
Open Rank, Tenure Track in Geroscience
Wake Forest University School of Medicine invites applications to fill an open rank, tenure track position with an individual studying the intersection of biological aging and chronic disease. The candidate will connect with a leading translational research program seeking to improve human health through a better understanding of aging biology. We are particularly interested in those working in the areas of:
- Aging of the key physiologic systems critical to physical function and healthy aging including: the immune, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems
- Geroscience, exploring age-related biological contributors to human health and physical function
- Intervention development focused on optimize health through applying mechanistic understanding of aging
- The application of bioinformatic approaches to the above
Wake Forest University School of Medicine has a highly collaborative, research intensive faculty and offers a dynamic environment for cutting edge multidisciplinary research. The rich collaborative environment includes many nationally recognized research entities including: the Sticht Center for Healthy Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention, two NIA funded centers (Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center, Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center), the Division of Public Health Sciences, an NCI-funded Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), the Center for Precision Medicine, the Center for Vaccines at the Extremes of Aging, and the WFU Primate facility which houses a breeding colony that includes aged animals as well as the long-term care and study of animals surviving high-dose irradiation in the NIAID Nuclear Countermeasures Program.
