online @sciencecareers.orgFaculty Positions in
Cardiovascular Sciences
Virginia Tech (https://vt.edu/) is recruiting to fill up to three tenure track/tenured open
rank faculty positions in cardiovascular sciences. The newly recruited faculty members
will be part of a major initiative to expand the existing cardiovascular biomedical
research team at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute (FBRI) at Virginia Tech
Carilion (https://research.vtc.vt.edu/) located on the Health Sciences and Technology
campus in Roanoke, Virginia.
The research institute, led by Dr. Michael J. Friedlander and located in a 100,000 square
foot purpose designed facility is entering its tenth year with 33 research teams, 350
employees and students with over $125M in extramural research funding. A new 140,000
SF research building representing a $90M investment from the state, Virginia Tech
and Carilion Clinic and major additional investments from the university including a
transformative $50M gift to the research institute, opened in July,2020. The new building
houses state of the art labs and core facilities including those for in vitro, laboratory animal
model, human subject and computational based research programs, a high field (9.4T)
MRI, micro PET, surgical research suites, metabolic chambers, scanning block face EM,
full molecular biology, cellular imaging, histology, data analytics and research participant
monitoring core facilities. Recruitment of outstanding faculty in cardiovascular sciences
will build on existing research strengths in cardiomyocyte coupling, drug development,
sudden cardiac death, arrhythmogenesis and vascular remodeling and regulation. Faculty
will be embedded in a transdisciplinary research environment that will include additional
new teams of investigators focused on metabolism and obesity, infectious disease/
immunology, neuroscience and body-device interfaces and comparative oncology.
Applicants for all positions should have an earned doctorate (PhD, MD, DVM or
combined degrees), postdoctoral research experience in cardiovascular science, a
demonstrated record of accomplishment of substantial research productivity through
major publications and either active major extramural funding (preferably from NIH)
or strong evidence of the likelihood of obtaining such funding in the near term. The
new faculty will join the FRBRI’s highly successful and nationally regarded Center for
Heart and Reparative Medicine Research (CHRMR) led by Dr. Robert Gourdie (https://
research.vtc.vt.edu/heart_center/). Collaborations will be encouraged to collaborate
within CHRMR, with the other groups at the FBRI and across Virginia Tech and with
clinical colleagues at the adjacent Carilion Clinic, including the division of cardiology
under the direction of Dr. David Sane.
Successful candidates will be expected to establish and maintain a high quality,
extramurally funded research program and participate in teaching and mentoring of
graduate students as well as research project mentoring of undergraduate and medical
students. Highly competitive salary, space, and startup packages will be provided.
Faculty members can draw from an outstanding and diverse pool of students to
work with them in their research program. Specifically, Virginia Tech has over 6,000
graduate students with graduate programs in multiple biomedical disciplines including
Translational Biology, Medicine, and Heath (http://www.tbmh.vt.edu), Molecular and
Cellular Biology (https://www.mcb.vt.edu), Biological Sciences (https://www.biol.
vt.edu/), Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics (https://beam.vt.edu/graduate.html)
and Biomedical Sciences and Pathobiology (https://www.vetmed.vt.edu/academics/
bmvs/). In addition, the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (https://medicine.
vtc.vt.edu/) is one of the nation’s most research intensive allopathic medical schools
where every medical student carries out a four year hypothesis driven research project
under faculty mentorship.
The FBRI at VTC is located in Roanoke, Virginia and is a public private partnership
between the Commonwealth of Virginia’s leading research intensive university, Virginia
Tech and a major health care system Carilion Clinic in Roanoke, VA. The research
institute is located in the picturesque Roanoke Valley midway between Washington, DC
and Charlotte, NC.
Required qualifications:Applicants for all positions should have an earned doctorate (PhD,
MD, DVM or combined degrees), postdoctoral research experience in cardiovascular
science, a demonstrated record of accomplishment of substantial research productivity
through major publications and either active major extramural funding (preferably from
NIH) or strong evidence of the likelihood of obtaining such funding in the near term.
