Job Description

MUSC, the state's only academic health science center, consists of six colleges and educates and trains more than 3,200 students and approximately 900 residents annually. The University and its health system have collective annual budgets of approximately $7 billion and annual research funding over $350 million. In the Charleston area, MUSC operates a 700-bed medical center, a nationally recognized children's hospital, the NCI-designated Hollings Cancer Center, a Level I trauma center, and an Institute of Psychiatry, along with a number of outreach locations. Through its regional health network, MUSC Health serves patients throughout the state.

Reporting directly to the Dean of the MUSC College of Medicine, the chair is charged with advancing the academic, clinical and research missions of the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, serving as a vital partner in framing the strategic direction for MUSC and MUSC Health.

MUSC seeks a dynamic and accomplished academic physician or physician-scientist with a national reputation to continue the department's growth and trajectory as a regional, national and international leader in education and training, research, patient care and service.
