Chair  Emory University School of Medicine invites nominations and applications for the position of Chair of the Department of Microbiology & Immunology. This is an outstanding opportunity to lead a premier basic science department with established strengths in research and training. The Department maintains a dynamic research-intensive environment that provides excellent opportunities for pre- and postdoctoral training and offers effective educational programs for Medical students and Physician Assistants students. On a national level, the department is currently ranked #7 in total NIH funding in the US and Canada, and due to steady gains in research funding has maintained a consistent presence as a top ten leading department in the fields of microbiology, immunology and vaccinology research. The Department also holds a unique position due to extensive interactions and collaborations with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), directly adjacent to Emory, and other external institutions in the local area; its strong interdepartmental links and collaborations, and its participation in interdisciplinary research programs and centers such as Emory Vaccine Center, Influenza Pathogenesis and Immunology Research Center and the Center for AIDS Research. The Department is also making significant contributions to Global Health. Atlanta has a reputation as a powerhouse for Global Health, and this just got another boost with the establishment of a new $110 million funded Global Health Institute at Emory. The institute will work globally to cure disease, develop vaccines, develop health infrastructures, expand research collaborations and train scientists and students. The Department has also benefited through funding of a vaccine partnership with the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in New Delhi, India and a consortium that includes the School of Medicine’s new NIH-funded Center for Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance and the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute in China. We seek an individual with outstanding leadership capabilities, proven academic and administrative experience, the vision to build and sustain programs at the forefront of microbiological and immunological research, and a commitment to excellence. Candidates must have demonstrated leadership in research, education, and administration. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. Applicants should submit a letter of interest and a current curriculum vitae along with names and addresses of three references via email to MWILL26@emory.edu.
