Academic Neuropathologist
About the role
Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community. The Emory University Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is seeking a non-tenure track neuropathologist at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. The successful candidate will join a diverse and collegial group of faculty who evaluate over 1000 surgical neuropathology cases and over 75 autopsy brains each year and contribute to the academic mission of the department by providing excellent clinical care, educating our residents and fellows, and performing original and collaborative research. Emory's Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has one of the largest AP/CP residencies in the country, 13 accredited subspecialty fellowships (including two neuropathology fellowship positions), advanced molecular diagnostic capabilities, and close ties to Emory’s Center for Neurodegenerative Disease and Emory's Winship Cancer Institute (an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center). The Department has a very active Experimental Pathology division, and is currently one of the Top-5 Pathology programs in the country in terms of NIH funding. Thus, the opportunities for clinical and translational scholarship and teaching are abundant.
