Deadline: Aug 31, 2028 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Assistant Professor position in either the non-tenure clinician educator track or the tenure track. Applicants must have an M.D. or equivalent degree.
Teaching responsibilities may include the teaching and mentoring of medical students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty, as well as formal lecture opportunities within the department.
Clinical responsibilities may include supervision of the department's inpatient service as well as the opportunity to provide outpatient clinical care in a department or community based clinic setting, such as our school-based health clinic, our mobile care program with partners, or in a variety of other community-based clinical settings addressing the health care needs of populations that are at high risk of experiencing adverse health outcomes. Clinical effort will be structured to support the development and sustainability of an externally funded, independent research portfolio.
Research or scholarship responsibilities may include establishing and maintaining an innovative, independent, and nationally recognized program of health policy research with direct relevance to primary care and community health. Areas of focus may include the design, evaluation, and reform of health care delivery systems; insurance coverage and access to care; primary care payment and workforce policy; policies addressing health equity and the social determinants of health; and federal, state, or local health policy affecting underserved populations. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a sustained program of federally funded research and to collaborate with investigators across the Perelman School of Medicine and the University of Pennsylvania while building an independent national reputation in health policy.
The department seeks an early-career clinician-scientist with demonstrated potential to become a national leader in health policy research as it pertains to primary care and community health. Candidates must have an established record of scholarly productivity and evidence of successful federal research funding as Principal Investigator, Multiple Principal Investigator, or recipient of a federal career development award. Competitive applicants will have current or prior support from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), or comparable federal funding agencies, with a demonstrated trajectory toward sustained independent funding. Applicants should have a strong record of peer-reviewed publications commensurate with career stage and a clear commitment to advancing the science of primary care through rigorous, impactful research.
