NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT (USA). The Department of Laboratory Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine seeks a Physician-scientist for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in the Department. The successful candidate would be expected to spend most of the time in extramurally funded basic and/or translational investigative work in an area that would synergize with existing strengths at the Medical School and University. The particular field of investigation is not limited to any single area. The remaining effort would be in any clinical pathology clinical area along with educational duties. Scientists and Engineers whose work is especially congruent with the mission of the Department and would benefit from our environment are also invited to apply; the career path expectation over time would also be a majority extramurally funded investigative work with the remainder of the effort devoted to educational and administrative duties.
Physician-scientist candidates should be MDs or MD/PhDs who are Board certified/eligible in Clinical Pathology or in an appropriate subspecialty of Laboratory Medicine or other relevant Board. Individuals who are clinical laboratory trained PhDs certified by the ABCC, ABMM, or ABMGG who plan a clinician-scientist career are also encouraged to apply. The Yale Laboratory Medicine Department has a long tradition of excellence in basic, translational, and clinical biomedical research. The Department also has a physician-scientist track residency program, physician-scientist track fellowships in six subspecialties as well as an NIH-funded pre/post-doctoral training program in Immunology-Hematology, Transfusion Medicine, Microbiology-Virology, and Biomedical Engineering. We have faculty especially strong in these areas, as well as in Biomedical Data Sciences, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology.
Rank is dependent on the successful candidate’s qualifications.

The Department of Laboratory Medicine at Yale has a long and proud tradition of providing leading edge clinical care, outstanding biomedical research, and comprehensive education. Its roots can be traced back to the work of John Peters, who, as head of the Metabolic Division of the Department of Medicine at Yale in the 1920's and 30's, established methodologies for the rigorous examination of the chemical composition of blood and urine that brought quantitative discipline to the study of human metabolism publishing the seminal volumes Quantitative Clinical Chemistry, Methods and Interpretations in 1931-32. This tradition of excellence, innovation, and evidence-based inquiry drives the Department. The department has over 30 faculty involved in basic and applied biomedical research. The research interests of the faculty include immunology, stem cell biology, asthma/allergies, advanced cell therapy, biomarker discovery, cancer and molecular genetics, data science (computational healthcare and imaging), epilepsy/neuroinflammation, immunohematology and transfusion medicine, and microbiology/virology. Faculty are involved in teaching residents, medical students, graduate students (PhD), and Yale undergraduates.
