College Of Veterinary Medicine
About the Department
The NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is nationally and internationally recognized for leadership in comparative medicine and translational biomedical research. The College leverages access to a state-of-the-art veterinary teaching hospital serving over 32,000 patients annually and maintains strategic collaborations with Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and partners across the Research Triangle Park biotechnology ecosystem.
This position is part of the newly proposed Translational Kidney Health Center of Excellence (TKHC), a strategic initiative designed to integrate naturally occurring kidney disease in companion animals with advanced molecular and computational research to accelerate discovery relevant to both veterinary and human medicine. The center leverages one of the world's largest clinical nephrology caseloads and an extensive biobank of samples from dogs and cats with naturally occurring kidney disease to drive translational discovery.

Essential Job Duties
North Carolina State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in translational omics at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. This position is a key component of the Translational Kidney Health Center of Excellence, an initiative designed to integrate clinical nephrology with advanced mechanistic research to accelerate discovery in kidney health across species.
This position represents the discovery and biomarker Identification pillar of the Translational Kidney Health Center of Excellence. The successful candidate will develop an innovative, externally funded research program that applies multi-omics technologies to identify molecular pathways and biomarkers associated with kidney disease progression. Areas of emphasis may include, but are not limited to: proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, genomics or transcriptomics, and systems biology and integrative bioinformatics.
In this role you will leverage NC State's unique clinical nephrology caseload and biobank of well-characterized samples to identify early diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets relevant to both companion animals and humans. As a faculty member, you will establish strong interdisciplinary collaborations with clinicians within the Veterinary Nephrology and Urology Service and with investigators in genomics, bioinformatics, engineering, and systems biology across campus. Additional collaborative opportunities exist with investigators at Duke University and the UNC Kidney Center. This is an exceptional opportunity to build a high-impact research program that integrates clinical observation, molecular discovery, and translational medicine.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a creative and forward-thinking investigator to advance both human and animal health through excellence in research and teaching. The successful candidate will contribute to the education of veterinary and graduate students, mentor trainees at multiple levels, and help expand the College's national and international reputation in comparative and translational medicine. We seek a dynamic scholar whose work will build upon existing institutional strengths while opening new scientific frontiers within the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Duties and Responsibilities:
• Apply cutting-edge scientific knowledge and advanced experimental methodologies to develop impactful solutions for complex kidney diseases affecting both animals and humans.
• Develop and sustain an innovative, independently funded research program in translational omics and biomarker discovery.
• Apply advanced multi-omic technologies to identify molecular pathways and biomarkers associated with CKD and AKI.
• Leverage NC State's extensive clinical nephrology caseload and biobanking resources to enable high-impact translational research.
• Collaborate with faculty in molecular physiology, engineering, genomics, and computational biology to integrate omics data with mechanistic studies.
• Secure extramural funding (e.g., NIH R01, USDA AFRI, foundation, and industry-sponsored research).
• Mentor DVM students, PhD students, DVM-PhD trainees, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical house officers.
Participate in graduate and professional teaching in areas such as systems biology, translational omics, renal physiology, and comparative diagnostics.
• Engage in interdisciplinary center-building initiatives including collaborative program project or center-level grant development.
• Promote comparative medicine by translating discoveries from veterinary patients to human health applications.
• Contribute to the national and international visibility of the College of Veterinary Medicine through scholarship and collaboration.
• Clinical duty within the Nephrology-Urology service if desired (up to 5 weeks per year).
This is an exceptional opportunity for a creative and forward-thinking investigator to advance both human and animal health through excellence in research and teaching. If you are exited about contributing to the education of veterinary and graduate students, mentor trainees at multiple levels, and help expand the College's national and international reputation in comparative and translational medicine. We seek a dynamic scholar whose work will build upon existing institutional strengths while opening new scientific frontiers within the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Other Responsibilities
This position will significantly enhance the College of Veterinary Medicine's research, teaching, and translational missions. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with faculty across disciplines to build an internationally recognized program in translational omics and biomarker discovery.
Specific expectations include:

• Contributing to the development and submission of competitive extramural funding mechanisms, including NIH R01 awards, multi-investigator P01 or U-level center grants, and institutional training grants (e.g., T32) aligned with the strategic objectives of the Translational Kidney Health Center of Excellence (TKHC).
• Engaging in substantive cross-institutional collaborations with investigators at Duke University and the UNC Kidney Center to advance comparative and translational nephrology research.
• Supporting the design and execution of clinical translational trials in partnership with the Veterinary Nephrology and Urology Service, facilitating the bidirectional integration of mechanistic discovery and patient-centered investigation.

Collaborating with molecular physiology and translational immunology faculty within the TKHC to translate omics discoveries into mechanistic and therapeutic advances.
