Applicants must have an M.D and/or Ph.D or equivalent degree. They must have demonstrated an excellent track record in securing federal grants and have developed a clear line of violence prevention research.

Teaching responsibilities may include didactic sessions with graduate students, medical fellows and residents, and postdoctoral fellows as well as formal lecture opportunities within the department.

Clinical responsibilities may include patient care depending on the candidate, including but not limited to outpatient treatment, outpatient consultations, inpatient consultations, and inpatient attending responsibilities.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include maintaining an active research laboratory and supervising students, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff. Additional responsibilities include writing grants, reports, and manuscripts, developing collaborative and independent research programs, and coordinating NIH-funded grant efforts with local, national, and international collaborators.

Successful applicants will have evidence of federal funding and demonstrated success in fundamental and/or translational research relevant to violence prevention research. The primary faculty appointment will be in the Department of Pediatrics or the department in the Perelman School of Medicine that provides the best scientific fit.
