• have active NIH R01 or comparable cutting-edge extramural research grant support with translational impact
• possess outstanding records of scholarly activity; and
• foster a collaborative research environment in the new Research Center.

The specific area of research is open, but potentially may be on insulin resistance, fetal programming, or gene targeting/transfer. The new Center Head will hold a primary academic appointment within the Department of Internal Medicine and be expected to participate in hiring an Associate Director, foster collaborative research ties, establish a nationally prominent research center and develop an NIH Program Project or Centers Grant in diabetes, obesity, metabolic diseases research. EVMS offers superb opportunities for collaboration and growth.
