Applicants must have an M.D. and/or Ph.D. or equivalent degree and have demonstrated excellent qualifications in research and education. Areas of interest include studies of molecular function such as biochemistry, proteomics, chemical biology, structural biology (including electron microscopy), and computational biology in different areas of drug discovery, cell signaling, metabolism, genetic diseases, rare diseases, cancer and epigenetic mechanisms.

Responsibilities include establishing a vigorous and independently funded research program while supervising and mentoring students with diverse backgrounds plus contributing to the graduate and medical school educational missions. We seek individuals with strong records of independent creative accomplishments, who will interact productively with colleagues within the Department and across Yale School of Medicine and the University.

Pharmacology at Yale University has a rich history of pre-eminence in drug discovery, indeed the first cancer chemotherapy clinical trials were conducted here. Today, the research in our Department encompasses a broad range of fields, with researchers aiming to both understand and treat human disease, with particular strengths in drug discovery, integrative cell signaling, structural biology, and neuroscience.
