Professor and Head
Heart and Cardiovascular Research Center
Eastern Virginia Medical School

Eastern Virginia Medical School is making a major commitment to strengthen, expand, and integrate the academic enterprise in basic and clinical research. During the upcoming year, EVMS will undergo an aggressive recruiting effort to develop four principal focus areas of research excellence: Heart/Cardiovascular; Diabetes/Metabolic Diseases; Women’s Health/Infant Development; and Cancer Biology/Infectious Diseases.

As part of this process, we solicit applications for Professor and Head of a new Heart and Cardiovascular Research Center at EVMS. The candidate is expected to:

  1. have a Ph.D. and/or M.D.
  2. be a nationally recognized and established scientist in the cardiovascular sciences
  3. have active NIH R01 or comparable cutting-edge extramural research grant support with translational impact
  4. possess outstanding records of scholarly activity
  5. foster a collaborative research environment in the new Research Center

The specific area of research is open, but potentially may be on diabetes and heart disease, cardiac ischemia, myocardial regeneration, fetal programming of the cardiovascular system, 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 cardiovascular research. EVMS offers superb opportunities for collaboration and growth, and the Heart and Cardiovascular Research Center will span and be comprised of investigators from several academic departments.

Applicants should submit a letter of interest, NIH Bio-Sketch, and full CV listing research grant support to:
