FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The City University of New York (CUNY) School of Medicine (SoM) is the only medical school in the CUNY system. Our innovative curriculum allows students to complete both their undergraduate Bachelor of Science (BS) and Doctor of Medicine (MD) degrees in seven years. CUNY SoM graduated its first MD class in 2020. In addition, the CUNY SoM offers a two-year Physician Assistant (PA) program to prepare health professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. Our mission is 1) to provide access to medical education to talented youth from historically underrepresented in backgrounds in medicine and to develop health professionals committed to practicing in under-served communities and 2) to perform innovative research in community health and biomedicine.

The Department of Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences (MCBS) is a dynamic center of research and innovation, with faculty members leading active, NIH-funded programs in cutting-edge areas, including neuroscience, cardiovascular sciences, and drug discovery. Faculty in the department mentor doctoral students through CUNY Graduate Center programs in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, molecular and developmental biology, chemistry, and biochemistry.
