The Maine
Medical Center Research Institute is a state-of-the-art biomedical
facility with research programs focusing on human diseases. We are

As part
of its continuing expansion, the Maine Medical Center Research Institute
(MMCRI) invites applications for positions in the Center
for Molecular Medicine at the Senior Scientist (full professor
equivalent) level. Center research focuses on clinically relevant problems
in cell signaling, protein trafficking, morphogenesis/differentiation,
stem cell and cancer biology in the contexts of hematopoietic and vascular
development and homeostasis. These recruitments are facilitated
by two NIH-sponsored Center of Biomedical Research Excellence awards
and by new major commitments by the Maine Medical Center to expand
basic, translational, and clinical research. Scientists using cutting
edge molecular, cellular, biochemical, and genetic approaches in these
areas are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates must have
a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Candidates at the Senior Scientist level
must have an outstanding national record of academic achievement and
an established, independent, extramurally-funded research program.
Successful candidates will receive nationally competitive start-up
packages and access to excellent core facilities for DNA and protein
analysis, flow cytometry/cell sorting, confocal microscopy, histopathology,
bioinformatics, ES cells, viral gene delivery, mouse transgenics, and
magnetic resonance imaging. The Maine Medical Center has formal
academic affiliations with the University of Vermont College of Medicine
and the University of Maine. Appointees will be encouraged to interact
with basic, translational, and clinical research programs at the Maine
Medical Center and to participate in graduate education programs.
Rank
and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. MMCRI
is committed to diversity in recruiting faculty to fill these positions
and is an equal opportunity employer. Positions will remain
open until filled. Interested applicants should apply through the
