Limited contract duration can make it difficult to initiate long-term research or build extensive collaborations. To address these challenges, it's beneficial to focus on clear communication with department colleagues, establish manageable course and research goals, and proactively seek mentorship or networking opportunities within the institution. Leveraging existing resources and collaborating with permanent faculty can also enhance your impact during your tenure.

Position Summary
The Frederick F. Paustian Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center (PIBDC) is a recently created center (est. 2022) dedicated to improving the lives of IBD patients through expert, integrated, innovative patient-centered care as well as through ground-breaking clinical, translational and basic research programs. A prospective biobank with a sample-linked clinical database has been established to serve the center's research mission. We are seeking to expand our center's strengths in epidemiology, microbiome study, genetics, epithelial and mucosal biology and immunology investigations.
This position offers the opportunity to conduct research that uncovers the mechanisms of environmental, diet, and gut microbial factors on IBD development through host genetics, immunity and epithelial responses. Candidates should have a record of accomplishment commensurate with their senior career/established investigator status including publications, running a successful independent lab, training future investigators and academics, and a track record of federal, local and private research funding. The Center's work on the prevention and treatment of IBD is accomplished within a collaborative group of clinicians, clinical trialists, and translational and basic scientists. This faculty member will establish a productive and nationally recognized program, demonstrate the ongoing ability to secure independent funding, and provide excellent training and research opportunities for our students and residents.
The successful candidate must be an MD or PhD or MD/PhD in immunology, microbiology, genetics, biomedical sciences or related fields. Strong written and verbal communication skills and experience in research administration and project management are required. Candidates with primary expertise in epidemiology, microbiome study, human and microbial genetics, epithelial biology and gut mucosal immunology as well as related secondary expertise in nutrition, bioinformatics, and large database biostatistics are especially welcome. Opportunity for joint appointments in other departments, colleges and institutes appropriate to background and expertise, including the College of Public Health, Eppley Institute for Cancer Research, College of Pharmacy and the Nebraska Food for Health Center in Lincoln, NE are available.
We offer a highly competitive salary, academic appointment commensurate with experience and a fully comprehensive benefits package including relocation assistance.
