Assistant Professor-Academic Clinician Track-Molecular Genetics/Genomics-Pathology & Lab Medicine/Division of Precision and Computational Diagnostics

About the role

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Assistant Professor position in the non-tenure academic clinician track. Expertise is required in the specific area of the clinical practice of molecular genetics and genomic pathology with broad experience in the review and interpretation of massively parallel sequencing data, advanced genomics, molecular and genomic test development, and, for appropriately certified candidates, cytogenetics.

Responsibilities

• Excellent communication skills
• A thoughtful and consistent approach to clinical data review and reporting
• Proactive in identifying and solving problems
• Teaching responsibilities may include didactic teaching as well as case-based teaching during case sign-out with residents, fellows, and medical students in diverse aspects of clinical molecular genetics and genomics
• Review, interpretation, and sign-out of DNA- and RNA-based molecular assays, including massively parallel sequencing and targeted molecular pathology assays, as well as cytogenetics for candidates who are appropriately certified
• Participation in the design, validation, and implementation of new tests in the Division of Precision and Computational Diagnostics
• Experience in the development of molecular genomic assays, especially laboratory-developed tests (LDTs), is desirable
• Periodic interaction with divisional, departmental, and enterprise-wide faculty and staff for collaborations and/or communications relevant to the clinical laboratory
• Ability to review and efficiently integrate molecular, genomic, cytogenetic, and relevant clinical and pathologic data for reporting and dissemination of results

Requirements

Applicants must have an M.D and/or Ph.D or equivalent degree. Certification or eligibility is required by either the American Board of Pathology, in Molecular Genetic Pathology (MGP) or the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG).

Qualifications

We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense.

Skills

Ability to review and efficiently integrate molecular, genomic, cytogenetic, and relevant clinical and pathologic data for reporting and dissemination of results will be important for effectiveness in this position.
