The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) is seeking a UW-Madison faculty member to join us as Faculty Co-Director of the Graduate Program in Clinical Investigation (GPCI) starting July 1, 2025.
About the Graduate Program in Clinical Investigation
Clinical investigation is a field of study in which teams of biomedical investigators, health care professionals, and non-academic partners are engaged to propose, design, and conduct research with the intent to translate discoveries to human or animal patient populations. The science of translation generates scientific and operational innovations that overcome long-standing barriers or bottlenecks along the translational research pipeline. Moreover, ICTR aims to reduce health inequities and address health disparities in both urban and rural settings. This engagement of all to improve health is the epitome of the “Wisconsin Idea” to bring the beneficial influence of the university to every family in the state and beyond.
Co-Director responsibilities and qualifications
This position involves 8-10% effort to provide a high-quality training environment for students pursuing MS and(or) PhD degrees, or certificate options. Duties within the GPCI team include:
- Lend oversight to administrative, curricular, and social program activities
- Promote the graduate program to other schools/departments/divisions
- Team-teach/coordinate foundational GPCI course
- Lead periodic meetings with students and their mentors
The ideal candidate will be a recently promoted, tenure-track associate professor looking for an exciting leadership opportunity. A track record of scholarly mentorship is required, as is a working knowledge of clinical and translational science. The position also offers an opportunity for the incumbent to share their clinical research experiences with students in one of the GPCI foundational courses (e.g., BMI 544).
This is a rewarding position with opportunities to impact the development of talented scholars. The candidate will join a GPCI team that is highly supportive, engaged, and experienced.
