  • Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
  • Medicine-General, Geriatric, Palliative and Hospital Medicine
  • University of Virginia
The Department of Medicine's Division of General, Geriatric, and Palliative Medicine at the University of Virginia seeks a recognized leader in transdisciplinary geriatric and gerontological research. This prestigious role will provide leadership, direction, and innovation in furthering the Department’s research program on aging at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. This position will collaborate with several entities across UVA, both within the School of Medicine and across UVA’s Schools, creating and sustaining partnerships for cutting-edge aging research.

The selected candidate will hold an MD/DO, MD/PhD, DO/PhD, or PhD in an allied field of gerontological research. For candidates holding a PhD without an MD or DO, preference will be given to those with prior or current work experience in aging care (e.g. neuropsychology, clinical psychology, nursing, social work, etcetera). The selected candidate will be a nationally recognized researcher with a strong track record of extramural-funded research, sustained scholarly productivity, and the capacity for ambitious and innovative thinking in the field of aging.

Where appropriate, in addition to research, the selected candidate may sustain a partial clinical practice caring for older adults in UVA Health’s clinical settings.

The Charlottesville and Central Virginia area offers an outstanding community for personal and professional activities. The region has a strong sense of community and excellent educational systems for adults and children. Charlottesville is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is consistently listed among the top cities in national rankings of the most desirable places to live. It offers a thriving community in the arts, highlighted by literary, film, theatrical, and festivals. It is an excellent place to live and work. The city is within easy driving distance of Washington, D.C., the coastal regions of Virginia, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
