The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) College of Medicine seeks a collaborative academic leader to serve as its next Chair Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine for the College of Medicine. The incoming chair will partner with university and clinical affiliates to expand a modern Department of Pathology that serves the needs of the community for both traditional and cutting edge anatomic and clinical pathology.

UTHSC is Tennessee's only public, statewide, academic health system, dedicated to delivering groundbreaking discoveries with global impact and training the next generation of health science leaders. It is an exciting time for UTHSC as the main Memphis campus has invested significantly in renovation and construction, including a new Translational Science Research Building and a dedicated Multi-Disciplinary Simulation Building. The main UTHSC campus is located in Memphis and includes six colleges: Dentistry, Graduate Health Sciences, Health Professions, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy. The Health Science Center is part of the statewide, multi-campus University of Tennessee system, and has multiple clinical partners across the state. UTHSC has launched an aggressive campaign to double extramural research funding over the next ten years.

The Department of Pathology faculty and trainees provide care in concert with multiple clinical partners, including Regional One Health, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers, Jr VA Medical Center and University Clinical Health as well as The West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center. The department embraces a tripartite role in clinical service, research and education. The outstanding pathologists and doctoral level scientists who have been and will be recruited are expected to make contributions to all relevant missions as a pre-requisite to academic advancement.

The UTHSC College of Medicine is the state's largest with approximately 656 medical students and over 1100 residents and fellows in 84 GME training programs. Gross revenues for the College exceed $400M annually with greater than $70 million in research revenues. The College of Medicine has multiple faculty practice plans to support clinical care at sites across the Memphis metro area. In addition, the college benefits from close partnerships with major research institutions including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Reporting to the Executive Dean, the incoming Chair will support pathologists and doctoral scientists who specialize in particular clinical or research areas. Further, the successful candidate will be expected to grow the research portfolio of the department and partner closely with clinical partners to coordinate care across multiple sites. The successful candidate will be an outstanding leader with integrity, intellect and the ability to work effectively with numerous stakeholders. Qualified candidates must hold an MD or equivalent medical degree; be board certified preferably in Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology and in their subspecialty and eligible for medical licensure in Tennessee; and meet University of Tennessee criteria for appointment to a tenured senior level faculty position.
