    • University of Virginia
    The University of Virginia School of Medicine Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism (Department of Medicine) and The Center for Diabetes Technology (the “Center”) is seeking a physician/scientist to join our team. The tenure-track, Clinician Investigator faculty member will be a joint hire between the Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, and the Center for Diabetes Technology (CDT). Rank and tenure status will be dependent upon qualifications. This position is 75% research and 25% clinical. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to improving the fundamental understanding of diabetes by promoting translational research efforts that will serve as the future basis for novel preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies.

    The Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism is a collegial and collaborative team with a rich and long-standing tradition of excellence in research, patient care, and education. The Division currently has 34 faculty members (9 full professors, 7 associate professors, 9 assistant professors, 8 nurse practitioners, and 7 emeritus professors) and 6 endocrine fellows. The Division includes current and previous leaders in national professional societies including three former presidents of the Endocrine Society, a former president of the American Diabetes Association, a former president of the Pituitary Society, and a former president of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research.

    The Center for Diabetes Technology is directed by Professor Boris Kovatchev, Ph.D., a world-renowned researcher in the field of diabetes technology and data science. The Center's Associate Director for Research is Professor Mark Breton, Ph.D., a control engineer who has developed some of the most advanced artificial pancreas (AP) algorithms. Professor Sue Brown, MD leads the Center's clinical trials program including some of the largest randomized AP clinical trials worldwide. The Center has expertise in translational clinical trials including three pivotal trials aiming for regulatory clearance of a new AP system developed at the Center in different age groups, all published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Currently, the Center's grant portfolio includes numerous NIH, RO1, and UO1 grants and long-term industry-sponsored projects for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The Center is translational, focusing on continuity from vision, to research, to execution of clinical trials - an approach that allows our faculty to experience all aspects of the development of viable therapies.

    The Division and Center faculty will provide mentoring for an assistant or associate physician-scientist, leaning toward independence in translational, clinical, or basic research. The position provides a unique opportunity to align research interests with clinical activities to implement state-of-the-art, evidence-based preventative strategies, and treatment opportunities for persons with diabetes. In this capacity, the candidate will coordinate clinical activities with a multi-disciplinary group, including clinicians, other physician-scientists, and ancillary service providers.

    The University of Virginia is in Charlottesville, a cultured, cosmopolitan community with a charming, small-town feel. Charlottesville offers a thriving arts community and is equally attractive to foodies, music fans, history buffs, and outdoor enthusiasts.
