Position Summary:
The UW-Madison Division of Geriatrics welcomes applications for a tenure-track research faculty position. The major mission of the successful applicant will be to develop an independently funded, collaborative research program in Biology of Aging / Geroscience that complements the existing strengths in aging research programs within the Division of Geriatrics and UW-Madison at large. The UW geriatrics division is nationally renowned for its extensive expertise and research programs in aging and dementia research. The division is closely integrated with the Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center (GRECC) at the Madison VA Medical Center, and supports the NIH-funded Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC). This position includes a GRECC appointment, which will provide salary support and access to research funding and resources of both the US Department of Veterans Affairs and Madison VAMC. In addition to research, the new faculty member is expected to collaborate with faculty across the Department of Medicine and UW, and to participate in interdisciplinary research and training in aging. Plans to develop possible translational programs are welcome but not essential.

The new faculty member will largely be responsible for preparing grant applications, presentations, peer-reviewed publications; mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and sharing responsibility to teach graduate level courses in relevant fields. The successful candidate will also participate in professional, public, and university service appropriate to the faculty rank.

The School of Medicine and Public Health has a deep and profound commitment to diversity both as an end in itself but, also as a valuable means for eliminating health disparities. As such, we strongly encourage applications from candidates who foster and promote the values of diversity and inclusion.
