** The Department of Medicine at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, PA invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. We seek an accomplished, collaborative investigator with an established research program in cardiovascular and/or cardiometabolic biology, broadly defined.

Areas of particular interest include heart failure and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), obesity and metabolism, vascular and endothelial biology, mitochondrial biology, regenerative medicine, cardio-oncology, and related areas of basic and translational cardiovascular science. Candidates whose research incorporates innovative approaches including human disease models, induced pluripotent stem cells, multi-omics, spatial or single-cell technologies, or precision medicine are particularly encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an independent, externally funded research program; develop interdisciplinary collaborations across the Department of Medicine and Penn State College of Medicine; mentor graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty; and contribute to the continued growth of the Department's research enterprise.

There are substantial opportunities for collaboration with investigators across the Heart and Vascular Institute, Penn State Cancer Institute, Departments of Cell and Biological Sciences, and Molecular and Precision Medicine and other basic and translational science programs across Penn State. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to participate in and help develop multidisciplinary research programs spanning cardiovascular disease, cardiometabolic health, obesity, aging, cancer, and precision medicine.

Applicants should hold a PhD, MD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree and have a record of scholarly accomplishment and sustained extramural research funding appropriate for appointment at the Associate Professor or Professor level. Academic rank and tenure status will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and qualifications.
