DIRECTOR and Senior Faculty
Program in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases

The Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore (Duke-NUS GMS) is recruiting a Program Director to lead our signature program in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases, with a primary focus on the prevention and treatment of vascular disease, including diabetes and obesity. The successful candidate will be a visionary scientist with an MD and/or PhD and an international reputation in either basic or clinical research. Also required is a demonstrated ability to establish and lead a multidisciplinary team of tenure-track faculty and associated junior faculty and trainees. The Program will be based in Singapore; however some research is likely to be conducted in countries in the region.

In addition, we also seek senior faculty who have significant research accomplishments and a willingness to participate in a research enterprise that embraces a virtual academic environment that will reshape both fundamental views of cardiovascular disease and the delivery of effective diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. The positions will include full salary, generous start-up support, and five years of annual research funding.

The faculty of Duke-NUS GMS will have access to the world-renowned Duke Databank for Cardiovascular Diseases and the Duke Clinical Research Institutes databases and clinical trials portfolio. The Director should have a commitment to developing an integrated portfolio of research activities between the Duke-NUS GMS and Duke University in Durham NC.

Duke–NUS GMS is unique in bringing post-baccalaureate, research-intensive medical education to Asia, and represents a truly global partnership between two leading U.S. and Asian universities. Duke-NUS GMS shares a modern campus with Singapore’s largest hospital and several national research centers, including the National Heart Centre. The facilities in nearby Biopolis, and those in the planning stages for proof of concept human studies and a clinical research coordinating center, will provide a unique array of complementary resources.

Interested candidates should e-mail a cover letter stating the position applied for, curriculum vitae and a summary of research accomplishments, to the Search Committee on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases, Duke-NUS GMS: CVMD.recruit@gms.edu.sg
