Applicants with a career focus in either surgical pathology/clinical service or as a clinician-scientist pursuing translational research in neuropathology are encouraged to apply.

An appointee in the clinical track will be expected to contribute to the research mission as a collaborator and/or intellectual leader of clinical projects in relevant areas of neuropathology that meet the expanded definition of scholarship for these tracks.

Both tracks require teaching that may include clinical, didactic, and small group teaching of housestaff, medical students, and graduate students; interdisciplinary conferences, and curriculum development.
