Faculty Positions in Basic and/or Translational Blood Research

We seek to grow our Transfusion Medicine, Vascular Biology and Cell Therapy Program by recruiting innovative investigators with research interests in blood research and related fields such as transfusion science, cell therapy, gene therapy, glycobiology, and vascular biology. Applicants at all academic ranks with Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degrees are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates will develop or maintain independently funded basic and/or translational research programs.

These positions provide attractive start‑up packages and outstanding opportunities for collaboration with basic, translational, and clinical investigators.

The VBRI is located on the same campus as the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, and Froedtert Hospital, which facilitates collaboration, provides additional research breadth, and enables access to graduate students. VBRI faculty typically hold an appointment at MCW, in basic science and/or clinical departments, to facilitate translational research.

The Versiti Blood Research Institute (VBRI), located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is focused on innovative blood and vascular research. The VBRI provides a unique academic environment, reflected by its long record of scientific excellence and innovation since its founding over seventy years ago. VBRI is strategically strengthening its programs to promote both mechanistic and clinical‑translational science. We are committed to impactful, rigorous science that can change lives.

VBRI currently houses 31 principal investigators in four programs and has plans to add 14 new investigators over the next 5 to 7 years. A new 60,000–80,000 ft² research building is under development, anticipated for completion in 2026.

Eligible candidates will have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. or equivalent doctoral degree. Successful candidates will have:

• Track records of creativity and productivity.
