The
SmartState South Carolina Endowed Chair
in Environmental and Biomedical
Panomics is part of an integrated and highly
collaborative effort at the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) to
bring together faculty, students and staff from the Medical
University of South Carolina (MUSC), the College of Charleston
(CofC), the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National
Institute of Standards and Technology on the Fort Johnson marine
sciences campus. This Endowed Chair will
lead efforts to generate data and develop methods to annotate and
integrate multiomics into biomedical research and practices
designed to increase the understanding and public practices
concerning environmental determinants of health in the state of
South Carolina and beyond.
Competitive applicants will have a doctorate (PhD, MD, DVM, or
equivalent), a demonstrated track record as a scholar in a
collaborative and collegial setting, and programmatic support from
competitive extramural funding sources. Applicant should also have
demonstrated leadership skills and will be experienced with
computational analyses and integration of “omics” data across
disciplines, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics,
microbiomics, metagenomics, etc., and extensive experience in one
or more “omics” fields. Experience with mechanisms for enhancing
research value through economic development (e.g., intellectual
property, interaction with relevant businesses, translational
research activities) is an important attribute to build on the
SmartState Program (smartstatesc.org). Experience as a
collaborative team development scholar is essential, as well as a
successful history in mentorship.
The
appointee will be expected to: 1) develop a strong extramurally
funded programmatic base tying together aspects of environmental
and biomedical systems; 2) mentor research students in the doctoral
and professional graduate programs at MUSC; 3) synergistically work
with the companion Endowed Chair in Marine Environmental Biology at
CofC and other researchers from HML partner institutions to lead
efforts to integrate multiple “omics” studies; 4) develop
collaborations beyond HML to promote clinical and translational
science research. The appointee will join a thriving, collaborative
research environment with ongoing programs in proteomics, genomics,
metabolomics, microbiomics, lipidomics, and metagenomics programs
at MUSC, CofC, and other HML partners. The appointee will
collaboratively work to help develop visionary research projects
involving health and environmental science. The coastal environment
of Charleston offers an opportunity to collaboratively integrate
sensitive coastal ecosystems into environmental and biomedical
research with wider implications for human health.
In
addition to an outstanding research environment, the Charleston
area offers a high quality of life, and is frequently rated in the
top 10 or the #1 city to visit and live in the US and in the world,
with beaches, rivers, renowned historical significance, fine
dining, and more. Hollings Marine Lab is located at historic Fort
Johnson and sits adjacent to an expanse of saltmarsh and tidal
creeks connected to Charleston Harbor. This facility is equipped
with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic
resonance, computational and aquaculture facilities.
