Open Rank Neurodevelopmental Scientist/Physician-Scientist
2 months ago
The Departments of Neurology and Pediatrics seek an open-rank faculty-level scientist with neurodevelopment expertise as part of a major University-wide investment in this area. The University of Virginia's 2030 plan recognizes Brain and Neuroscience as a major societal challenge and opportunity that draws on an existing strength. In partnership, the Provost and the Deans of various schools are making multiple, coordinated faculty recruitments to strengthen the community of neuroscientists across the University. In addition to enhancing ongoing research in the neurodevelopment space in the Departments of Neurology and Pediatrics, the successful recruit will also be involved in the broad University-wide initiative. Recruits will receive support from the Provost and their School Dean and will join the UVA Brain Institute and the broader neuroscience community. Areas of particular interest and strength include (but are not limited to) the discovery and characterization of early biomarkers of intellectual disabilities, understanding how perinatal experiences impact early brain development, and developing early interventions to mitigate the negative impact of prematurity and the NICU environment on brain development.
The successful candidate will be an investigator with an MD, DO, PhD, MD PhD, or DO PhD, a record of research accomplishments demonstrating current achievements, and a strong ongoing innovative research program that can attract and sustain extramural funding. They will demonstrate the ability to facilitate connections between fundamental and applied scientists by directly linking findings from the bench to the bedside. They will be deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Clinicians will be expected to be board-eligible or board-certified and provide clinical care to children within their specialty of pediatric neurology, neurodevelopmental disabilities, developmental behavioral pediatrics, or neonatology.
The University of Virginia and affiliated UVAHealth form the premier institution for medical research and clinical care in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our UVA Children's Hospital was recently ranked the number 1 children's hospital in Virginia by the U.S. News & World Report. The appointee will join an outstanding faculty comprised of internationally-renowned pediatric neurologists, neurodevelopmental pediatricians, developmental behavioral pediatricians, and neonatologists. The faculty member will be welcomed into the highly collaborative environment of the University of Virginia and have ready access to several research-oriented schools and centers across the University of Virginia grounds, which provide a rich platform for shared discovery.
The University of Virginia is located in Charlottesville, VA, situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains and picturesque Shenandoah Valley, just 100 miles from Washington, DC. Our region boasts outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation year-round, including hiking, water-based recreation, and skiing. Likewise, it is a short drive to Virginia Beach and other types of coastal recreation. Some of the finest restaurants and music are showcased on the Downtown Mall, an 8-block pedestrian walking mall. A regional airport serves our city, and travel by rail to cities throughout the eastern US is accomplished via a train station within walking distance of UVA. Charlottesville is routinely listed among the most desirable cities in which to live, raise a family and retire.
