Faculty Position Imaging Leader Virginia Tech
Virginia, Roanoke, VA, United States
Job Description
Virginia Tech (VT) seeks to recruit a senior or mid‑career level biomedical imaging technology innovator to join the faculty at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC (FBRI) for a tenured or tenure‑track faculty position at the associate or full professor level. The research institute supports entrepreneurial activity through dedicated translational biomedical research programs, innovation and commercialization offices, and robust partnerships with biotech and clinical enterprises. Candidates with experience in technology development, patenting, commercialization, and collaborative industry partnerships are encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D., completed postdoctoral training, and successfully led an independent extramurally‑funded research program as a mid‑career or senior level faculty member. In addition to leading their own research program, they will develop new advanced imaging technologies for use by their laboratory and for other investigators at the research institute, while also overseeing the current portfolio of imaging technologies and facilities. The specific area of the candidate’s own research program may be in cancer, neuroscience and/or cardiovascular science or span these areas, providing opportunities for collaboration with other faculty at the research institute across those three primary research focus areas. The faculty member will join 44 other faculty‑led teams at the FBRI and will also have leadership and oversight responsibility for the institute’s multiple cellular and molecular imaging platforms and their technical support staff.
The primary responsibility is to carry out leading‑edge research that makes major use of advanced optical imaging technologies while also developing new approaches to imaging that will benefit their own as well as other FBRI investigators’ research programs, and to collaborate with those other investigators. The candidate will be expected to maintain extramural funding for their research program, participate in graduate teaching, and provide research project mentorship for graduate, medical and undergraduate students. Participation in programmatic grant development and multi‑investigator collaborations is also expected. Candidates with national recognition and/or leadership in microscopy and imaging tool development are welcomed.
The position will be located at the FBRI on Virginia Tech’s health sciences and technology campus in Roanoke, Virginia. In addition to the position at the FBRI, the faculty member will also have a tenured or tenure‑track (as appropriate) appointment in an appropriate VT department from among multiple colleges.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic and growing community of scholars focused on next‑generation approaches to cancer, heart and brain research directed at having dramatic impacts on understanding, prevention, diagnoses and treatments for a wide range of disorders that impact those systems and processes.
Required Qualifications
Ph.D. degree, completed postdoctoral training, and a track record of leading an independent extramurally‑funded research program as a mid‑career or senior level faculty member.
Experience developing new advanced imaging technologies and overseeing imaging technology portfolios and facilities.
Research program may focus on cancer, neuroscience and/or cardiovascular science or span these areas, with opportunities for collaboration across these primary research focus areas.
Preferred Qualifications
