Pharmacologist - Med Faculty Open RankFACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The CUNY School of Medicine (CUNY SoM) located in the heart of Harlem, New York, is the only medical school in the City University of New York system and the only public medical school in Manhattan. Building upon 50 years of success as the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education, the institution transitioned to the CUNY School of Medicine (SoM) in 2016.

The CUNY SoM offers an accelerated BS/MD degree (7-year program), Post-baccalaureate Master’s program (1-year), and a Physician Assistant Master's Degree (27 months program). True to its legacy of access, opportunity, and community transformation, the medical school's mission remains to recruit highly talented students as diverse as New York City itself. CUNY SoM places a special emphasis on the recruitment of those who are underrepresented in the field of medicine and on training high quality, supremely competent health professionals and scientists equipped to address the healthcare needs of New York's medically under-served communities.

As a major priority, CUNY SoM also seeks to enhance the recruitment and retention of senior leadership, faculty, and staff to more closely reflect our student body.

The CUNY SoM has five departments:
Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences (MCBS) was formed through the merger of several basic science departments and represents one of the four departments in the school (Community Health and Social Medicine, Medical Education, and Clinical Medicine). All departments play a critical role in our mission-driven BS/MD program, post-bac program and Physician Assistant program through the teaching of the basic science curriculum and by conducting extramurally funded research.

The research agenda of the current members of the departments are centered on neuroscience, microbiology and immunology, cardiovascular disease, oncology, social determinants of health, and community health. The selected candidate will be placed in the most appropriate department based upon their credentials and experience.
