Associate Director of Clinical Genomics and Molecular Pathology - University of California, San Diego
The Department of Pathology at the University of California, San Diego (http://pathology.ucsd.edu) is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body, and seeks an academic molecular pathologist to serve as Associate Director of Clinical Genomics and Molecular Pathology in the Division of Laboratory and Genomic Medicine.
Based at the state-of-the-art Center for Advanced Laboratory Medicine in La Jolla, the Clinical Genomics and Genetics Laboratories not only supports UC San Diego Health's Jacobs and Hillcrest Medical Centers and the region's only NCI-designated cancer center but also serves as a national/international referral leader in personalized and precision medicine.
The Associate Director of Clinical Genomics and Molecular Pathology is expected to utilize their strong leadership skills and expertise in cancer genomics and molecular diagnostics to provide clinical service. Sign-out responsibilities will be shared with other qualified faculty, who are focused on the oversight of the molecular genetic/genomic evaluation of inherited and rare genetic disorders. The teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows is also expected, including participation in an established ACGME-accredited fellowship program in Molecular Genetic Pathology.
Candidates must have an MD or equivalent or MD/PhD in a health-related field. Candidates must also have experience in next-generation sequencing, whole exome/genome/transcriptome sequencing, and conventional molecular techniques. Candidates must have or be eligible for a California medical license or equivalent certification/permit as determined by the Medical Board of California. Candidates must also be board certified or eligible by the American Board of Pathology in anatomic pathology/clinical pathology (AP/CP) or clinical pathology (CP).
Candidates with additional subspecialty board certification or eligibility by the American Board of Pathology in Molecular Genetic Pathology (MGP) or equivalent are preferred.
Candidates with a demonstrated interest in the development and application of molecular, genomic, and epigenomic approaches to the diagnosis and management of cancer (both solid organ and hematolymphoid neoplasms), with evidence of scholarly contributions in clinical, translational, and/or basic research are preferred.
