DIRECTOR, UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH INSTITUTE

FOR PERSONALIZED MEDICINE

The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center)invite applications and nominations for the position of director of the newly created Institute for PersonalizedMedicine. The University of Pittsburgh has emerged as a national research leader, ranked among the top 10educational and research institutions inNIH funding.Within the School ofMedicine, areas of research strengthinclude structural biology; cell and molecular biology; drug discovery and design; vaccine development;organ transplantation/immunology; stem cell biology and tissue engineering; medical device development;cancer research and therapy; cardiology and cardiovascular biology; bioinformatics and computational/systems biology; psychiatry, neurobiology, systems neuroscience, and neurological surgery; reproductiveand developmental biology; comparative effectiveness research; and clinical research/clinical trials.

UPMC is an integrated global health enterprise and one of the nation’s leading academic health care systems,with $9 billion in revenues for fiscal year 2011.

Themission of the University of Pittsburgh Institute for PersonalizedMedicine is to apply new knowledge ingenetics, genomics, and other disciplines to advance evidence-based medicine, leading to improved modelsof disease prevention and treatment in individuals.As evidence-based practice decreases variation in popula-tion-based care for specific diseases, appropriate treatment variation then needs to be reintroduced on thebasis of specific aberrant molecular pathways and manifestations of an individual’s genes and environmentin a temporal context. Our goal is to become a major leader in personalized medicine research and to applythis knowledge to yield improved outcomes and decreased costs.

The University of Pittsburgh and UPMC hope to attract an international leader in the emerging and rapidlyadvancing field of personalizedmedicine. The ideal candidatewill have a recognized reputation for innovativescholarship, a distinguished track record of research support and publications, and leadership experience.Candidates should be committed to creative, team-based translational research, the exemplary educationof students and trainees, and continued faculty development.

residency program. The NIH will support up to �ve Early Independent Scientists per year, with each sci-

entist receiving up to �ve years of support. Successful candidates also will be eligible to apply for funds

from the NIH Common Fund Early Independent Investigator program.

Complete applications must be received by November 18, 2011. Candidates should submit electronically

a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and a 3-page statement of research interests and future plans, and ar-

range to have 3 to 5 letters of reference sent to: Charles Dearolf, Ph.D.; Assistant Director for Intramural

Research; National Institutes of Health; dearolfc@od.nih.gov.
