Description

The Yale Center for Research on Aging (Y-Age) in Department of Pathology at the Yale School of Medicine is seeking applications for up to two tenure track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level to build an interdisciplinary research program in basic biology of aging. We are seeking outstanding scientists in the area investigating the hallmarks of aging, including immunobiology-inflammation of aging, metabolism, proteostasis, epigenetic and genetic regulation, exceptional longevity models, systems biology of aging and neural control of  organ function and disease. We are particularly keen to recruit new faculty colleagues who will contribute to scientific excellence of diverse Yale community with strong commitment to teaching and mentoring. The Department of Pathology will serve as the academic home of new Y-Age faculty.
