About the role
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, seeks an Associate or Full Professor (tenure‑track) with expertise in human genetics/genomics, computer science, bioinformatics, neuroscience, neurology, or related fields. The position is situated within the Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC), a premier research institute focused on the genetic mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases.
Responsibilities
- Teaching: mentoring PhD students and postdoctoral researchers; teaching medical students, residents, and fellows; formal course directing and lecture opportunities within the Perelman School of Medicine.
- Research: identification of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease using PNGC’s data and genomic analysis tools; development of genomic biomarkers for early diagnosis and risk prediction; functional genomics and mechanisms of neurodegeneration genetic susceptibility; therapeutic target discovery and validation by integrating human genetic and functional data; investigation of the genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases across diverse populations to understand health disparities.
- Service: participation in departmental and PNGC committees and leadership roles.
Requirements
- Ph.D. or Ph.D‑equivalent degree.
- Expertise in human genetics/genomics, computer science, bioinformatics, neuroscience, neurology, or a related field.
Qualifications
- Demonstrated ability to develop a nationally or internationally recognized independent research program supported by extramural funding, with synergy to the PNGC Alzheimer’s disease genetics portfolio (for Associate Professor).
- For Full Professor, evident leadership in the field.
- Strength in managing large collaborative genomics research projects and ability to contribute to or synergize with the primary Alzheimer’s disease genetics portfolio.
- Expected to engage in departmental and PNGC service activities (committees, leadership).
Skills
- Human genetics/genomics, computer science, bioinformatics, neuroscience, neurology.
- Experience with genomic analysis tools and large‑scale data sets.
- Grant writing and extramural funding acquisition.
- Mentoring and teaching of graduate, medical, and post‑doctoral trainees.
- Project management of collaborative, interdisciplinary teams.
- Leadership and service in academic and research environments.
We should not include Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections.
Check for any invented content: All statements are derived from posting. The PNGC description about "substantial grant funding and leadership roles in major consortia and unparalleled opportunities for high-impact research and access to extensive biobank resources" is not included; we omitted it. That's fine; we didn't invent. We omitted some details like "Progress Supranuclear Palsy" etc. That's okay; we preserved substantive info but not required to include every detail. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we should not omit substantive information? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should try to keep all substantive info, not summarizing away. However we can combine but not lose detail. We omitted some specifics like "Progress Supranuclear Palsy" and "other related dementias". Also omitted mention of "PNGC is renowned for its interdisciplinary approach, combining genomics, bioinformatics, neuroscience, and clinical research." Also omitted "Our faculty members benefit from the center’s substantial grant funding and leadership roles in major consortia and unparalleled opportunities for high-impact research and access to extensive biobank resources." Also omitted "PNGC is uniquely positioned to drive groundbreaking discoveries in conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, Progress Supranuclear Palsy, and other related dementias." Also omitted "As a tenure-track faculty member, the appointee will display accomplishment in developing a nationally or internationally recognized independent research program supported by extramural funding and synergizing with the PNGC AD genetics portfolio." We captured that somewhat. Also omitted "For full professor appointment leadership in the field should be evident." We captured. Also omitted "Priorities will be given to candidates with strengths in managing large collaborative genomics research projects, can contribute to or synergize with our primary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) genetics portfolio." captured. Also omitted "Additionally, as a senior faculty member in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and PNGC, the candidate is expected to participate in departmental and PNGC service activities, such as committees or other leadership roles." captured. Also omitted "We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense." That's boilerplate/EOE, we can remove. Also omitted "The University of Pennsylvania is an EOE. Minorities/women/individuals with disabilities/protected veterans are encouraged to apply." Remove.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we omitted some specifics about PNGC description and diseases list. Are those substantive? They describe the center and diseases studied. Might be considered substantive. We should include them perhaps in About the role or a separate section like "Center overview". But we can incorporate them into About the role without losing detail.
Let's rewrite About the role to include PNGC description: "The Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC) at the University of Pennsylvania is a premier research institute at the forefront of understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases. PNGC is renowned for its interdisciplinary approach, combining genomics, bioinformatics, neuroscience, and clinical research. Our faculty members benefit from the center’s substantial grant funding and leadership roles in major consortia and unparalleled opportunities for high-impact research and access to extensive biobank resources. PNGC is uniquely positioned to drive groundbreaking discoveries in conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and other related dementias."
We can include that in About the role.
Also we need to include the teaching responsibilities list exactly as given: "Teaching responsibilities may include mentoring of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows, as well as formal course directing and lecture opportunities within the Perelman School of Medicine." We captured that.
Research responsibilities list: we captured the five items but we should preserve exact wording maybe. Let's capture them as given:
(1) Identification of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease utilizing PNGC’s extensive data collection and cutting-edge genomic analysis tools;
(2) Development of genomic biomarkers for early diagnosis and risk prediction using genetic and genomic approaches;
(3) Functional genomics and mechanisms of neurodegeneration genetic susceptibility;
(4) Therapeutic target discovery and validation by integrating human genetic and functional data;
(5) Investigation of the genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases across diverse populations to understand health disparities.
We'll keep those.
Also include "The Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC) at the University of Pennsylvania is a premier research institute..." etc.
Also include "As a tenure-track faculty member, the appointee will display accomplishment in developing a nationally or internationally recognized independent research
