The Division is home to a diverse group primary care and hospital medicine faculty pursuing clinical research and medical education careers including several NIH-funded independent investigators and senior mentors. This tenure-track position is designed to provide a supportive research environment for an established/funded, independent clinician-scientist and/or a junior faculty member with a promising future research career.

Senior faculty have expertise in chronic disease management, tobacco cessation and treatment, hospital medicine, transfusion medicine, cancer screening, disparities, population science, pharmacoepidemiology, and climate effects on health, among others. The position offers rich opportunities to do observational and interventional research in the RWJ Barnabas Health System, the only academic health system in NJ, comprised of 12 hospitals and numerous ambulatory sites caring for >3 million unique individuals. In addition, there are well-established research programs using state, national, and international claims databases in the Rutgers Institute for Health.

An attractive recruitment package will include competitive salary and generous research support start-up funds. Early career applicants need to have high potential for extramural applications as Principal Investigator (NIH K awards, other career development awards, and R03/R21 grants). Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with a candidate’s experience. Leadership opportunities are possible for mid-level and senior faculty. Rutgers is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer which greatly values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
