We seek a collaborative colleague whose research program is focused on

groups within Loyola's Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI). Additional

Candidates must have a doctoral degree and postdoctoral experience with strong

publication records. The faculty applicant will be expected to sustain an independent,

externally-funded research program and contribute to graduate and medical

education.

Please submit all applications at Loyola Careers portal (job #8550068) and note that

references will not be contacted without applicant's approval. Applications will be

accepted until the position is filled, but we encourage early submissions as reviews

will occur on a rolling basis.
