The University of New Mexico's Clinical and Translational Science Center seeks up to two junior faculty members for our Mentored Career Development (KL2) Scholar Program at the Assistant Professor level on either a tenure- or flex-track beginning in the Spring of 2022. Individuals engaged in all types of clinical and translational research – from molecular to community and population level investigations – relevant to the Departments of Internal Medicine, OBGYN, Emergency Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Pediatrics, and the Colleges of Pharmacy and Population Health are encouraged to apply. The successful Scholar candidate will have 75% of their effort committed to their research and 25% committed to other duties. MD, PhD, MD/PhD, Pharm D and equivalent candidates, who have motivation and interest to become independently funded in clinical and translational research, are encouraged to apply.

The goal of the KL2 Scholar Program is to enhance the career development and training of junior faculty in multidisciplinary, team research with the overarching goal of promoting clinical and translational investigation that will improve health and prevent disease. Candidates will be expected to aggressively pursue extramural funding while in the program. The Program will train and foster the career development of junior faculty to become the next generation of researchers who will perform clinical and translational investigation in multidisciplinary, collaborative research settings.

The Scholar will be known as a Clinical and Translational Science Center Scholar. The program will include an educational component tailored to the individual scholar in order to strengthen competencies in the design, conduct, and analysis of clinical and translational research. This opportunity will use the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Program Award (KL2) mechanism. Awards will be made for up to five years. The earliest anticipated start date is April 2022.

The successful candidate will be able to become a faculty member in one of the following School of Medicine departments: Internal Medicine, OBGYN, Emergency Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Pediatrics, or in the Colleges of Pharmacy and Population Health.
