The Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics of Indiana University School of Medicine is recruiting a Board-certified/Board Eligible MD, or MD/PhD, or PhD to lead the Molecular Clinical Laboratory in the Division of Diagnostic Genomics.
We are soliciting applications from outstanding candidates with demonstrated experience in molecular genetics laboratory diagnostics. The ideal candidate will be expected to lead the clinical testing program for both inherited and somatic disorders. The laboratory is CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited and performs a diverse menu of tests from cystic fibrosis to molecular oncology. The laboratory resides in the Division of Diagnostic Genomics and works in close concert with our other clinical laboratories including cytogenetics, pharmacogenomics, biochemical genetics, and the newly established Genomics Laboratory performing high-throughput sequencing. While the majority of the candidate’s efforts will be in clinical molecular operations, opportunities to participate in activities that support the other diagnostic laboratories in our division are available.
The individual will be expected to direct the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory and develop laboratory diagnostic services for university and state-wide patient care. This will include participation in clinical and translational research projects utilizing a variety of molecular genetic methods. In addition, the individual will participate in our ACGME-accredited Laboratory Genetics and Genomics fellowship training program and participate in training residents and graduate students as part of the departmental teaching mission. The academic appointment, salary and benefit package is commensurate with qualifications. Certification by the ABMGG in Molecular Genetics or Laboratory Genetics and Genomics, or by the ABP and fellowship in Molecular Genetic Pathology, is required.
