Careers

Columbia University Medical Center, Department of Medicine is recruiting a Clinical Geneticist at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor (non-tenure) to expand our growing program at the Center for Precision Medicine and Genomics (CPMG).

CPMG aims to improve clinical care for adult constitutional disorders by introducing clinical genetics to internal medicine practice and determine the indications for sequencing within each discipline in internal medicine. The candidate will be closely working with physician champions in each subspecialty of internal medicine.

Responsibilities will include leading an undiagnosed disease program for adult constitutional disorders in Internal medicine, providing comprehensive diagnostic, management, therapeutic, and counseling services, teaching of house staff (residents and fellows) and medical students, and active participation in CPMG activities. The applicant must be a licensed MD and be board certified in both Internal Medicine (American Board of Internal Medicine) and in Clinical Genetics (American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics). Protected time for research is included.

Summary Description: The Columbia University Precision Internal Medicine Fellowship training is designed to foster original research, training in genetic sequence interpretation and clinical annotation, and expertise in the diagnostic evaluation and return of results for patients with suspected familial forms of constitutive disorders.

The fellowship provides a unique opportunity to obtain advanced training in genetic interpretation, diagnosis and management of patients with rare Mendelian disorders, and those identified to have medically actionable secondary genetic findings. The fellowship also offers many opportunities to engage in world-class translational, clinical and basic research in Precision Medicine.

Minimal Qualifications: The Precision Fellowship is open to individuals who have already completed their general nephrology fellowship training in a U.S./Canadian accredited program who want to obtain additional expertise in preparation for a career in academic nephrology. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents per NIH regulations for postdoctoral trainees.

The postdoctoral fellowship will be for a one-year appointment, effective July 1st and may be extended to 2 years. An appointment is at the post-doctoral level; pending on applicant qualification appointment to the rank of an instructor may be considered.

Benefits include health/dental coverage and one month paid vacation.

To apply, please send a cover letter, a CV, and a list of three e-mail contacts for references to Dr. Ali Gharavi c/o Dr. Kolupaeva: Victoria.Kolupaeva@cumc.columbia.edu
