Faculty Position

Instructor/Assistant Professor 

Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School 

The Endocrine Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School invites applications for a Junior Faculty position at the Instructor/Assistant Professor level.

Outstanding scientists in the field of basic/translational research will be considered. Candidates with a research program focused on hormonal signaling, molecular and cell biology, developmental biology, or tissue regeneration using molecular, cellular, or animal systems are encouraged to apply.  Potential relevance of research topic to bone, cartilage, or mineral metabolism is preferred but not required.

The successful candidate will receive a startup package and competitive salary, be a member of the Endocrine Division of the MGH and faculty of Harvard Medical School and will be expected to initiate and lead an independent, innovative, externally funded research program.  Strong preference will be given to applicants who have demonstrated the ability to obtain external funding.

Appointments at Harvard Medical School will be commensurate with experience, training, and achievements in addition to teaching activities.

Suitable candidates will have a Ph.D., D.M.D, and/or M.D. degree from a CODA accredited school, or equivalent.

Interested candidates should send a personal statement, three potential referees, and a Curriculum Vitae by March 15, 2022 to Dr. Michael Mannstadt c/o Olga Katsovskiy at okatsovskiy@mgh.harvard.edu.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and interviews will start in March 2022.

The Program Directors of the Center for Skeletal Research would like your help in thinking about new directions, new areas of emphasis that the Center can consider moving into.  Our Center is now about eight years old.  While we have introduced a number of new initiatives in the last few years, there is always the danger that we might not be looking at current bone biology with the freshest perspectives.  When the Center goes to NIH hoping to renew the grant (or in NIH terminology, apply again for a new grant), we are likely to have some changes in leadership and emphasis, and we want to make changes in the most thoughtful way possible.  For this reason we would like to establish a New Directions Committee, with the mission of surveying the field and the capabilities in the Boston area to then come up with suggestions for modifying current cores or establishing completely new cores with new goals.  If you would be interested in joining this effort, please let us know by e-mailing CSRmail@partners.org, and we’ll organize next steps.

The CSR would like to congratulate:
