Job description

The Institution

Yale School of Medicine educates leaders in medicine and science, fostering curiosity and critical inquiry. It is a global leader in biomedical research, clinical care, and medical education. With more than 1,900 physicians, Yale provides compassionate care to patients worldwide. The Yale System of Medical Education emphasizes critical thinking and independent research, producing leaders in academic medicine.

Yale School of Medicine is one of the world's leading centers for biomedical research, advanced clinical care, and medical education. It ranks third among medical schools receiving funds from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and fourth in NIH dollars per faculty member. More than 1,900 Yale physicians provide care to patients from across the region and around the world. The Yale System of Medical Education, with its emphasis on critical thinking and independent student research, has produced leaders throughout academic medicine.

The sixth-oldest medical school in the United States, it was chartered by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1810 as the Medical Institution of Yale College, located first on Grove Street, then at 150 York Street. Since 1924, it has occupied Sterling Hall of Medicine at 333 Cedar Street and surrounding buildings. It has awarded 10,123 medical degrees since 1814. There are 5,792 living alumni with MD degrees, 6,246 with MPH degrees, and 1,753 alumni of the Physician Associate Program with the PA-C certificate or MMSc degree, and 293 alumni of the Physician Assistant Online Program division.

Research at the medical school covers a broad spectrum, from fundamental studies in the life sciences, including cell biology, genetics, immunobiology, microbial pathogenesis, neuroscience, pharmacology, physiology, biophysics and biochemistry, to translational and clinical studies aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. Important research collaborations bring together scientists on the medical campus, Science Hill, and the West Campus. Total funding for research at YSM was $804.0 million in 2024. In 2022, the school advanced its commitment to data science by creating a section for Biomedical Informatics and Data Science as the academic home for faculty focused on clinical organization, analyses, and access, as well as developing the computational infrastructure needed to employ artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics in a secure and privacy-protecting manner. In 2024, the section achieved department status. In 2023, a new biorepository service was formed to store, retrieve, and share biological samples such as blood, solid tissues, DNA, RNA, and proteins, for current and future research studies. Also in 2023, Yale became one of three partners to form the biomedical research hub, Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York. The hub's mission is to bioengineer immune cells to detect the earliest stages of diseases, potentially before they are detectable with current approaches or before symptoms appear. In 2025, YSM supported the creation of the Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute, bringing together renowned experts in imaging technology, clinical translation, and data science from across the university.
