The UNC School of Medicine has a rich tradition of excellence and care. Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of North Carolinians, and others whom we serve. We accomplish this by providing leadership and excellence in the interrelated areas of patient care, education, and research. We strive to promote faculty, staff, and learner development in a diverse, respectful environment where our colleagues demonstrate professionalism, enhance learning, and create personal and professional sustainability. We optimize our partnership with the UNC Health System through close collaboration and commitment to service.

OUR VISION
Our vision is to be the nation's leading public school of medicine. We are ranked 2nd in primary care education among all US schools of medicine and 5th among public peers in NIH research funding. Our Allied Health Department is home to five top-ranked divisions, and we are home to 18 top-ranked clinical and basic science departments in NIH research funding.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of North Carolinians and others whom we serve. We accomplish this by providing leadership and excellence in the interrelated areas of patient care, education, and research.

Patient Care: We will promote health and provide superb clinical care while maintaining our strong tradition of reaching underserved populations and reducing health disparities across North Carolina and beyond.

Education: We will prepare tomorrow's health care professionals and biomedical researchers by facilitating learning within innovative curricula and team-oriented interprofessional education. We will cultivate outstanding teaching and research faculty, and we will recruit outstanding students and trainees from highly diverse backgrounds to create a socially responsible, highly skilled workforce.

Research: We will develop and support a rich array of outstanding health sciences research programs, centers, and resources. We will provide infrastructure and opportunities for collaboration among disciplines throughout and beyond our University to support outstanding research. We will foster programs in the areas of basic, translational, mechanistic, and population research.

The Program on Health and Clinical Informatics, in collaboration with the Departments of Orthopedics and Radiology, seeks outstanding faculty candidates with a focus in clinical informatics. This candidate will be expected to help build a premier program in clinical informatics research in the area of musculoskeletal science, imaging, care, innovation and discovery. Newly recruited faculty members are expected to play an active role in campus-wide collaborations in teaching, mentoring, and research initiatives in clinical informatics, as well as helping to build a robust clinical informatics research community and contributing to the overall School of Medicine clinical informatics roadmap. We also expect that faculty recruited under this mechanism will ultimately obtain independent funding as a principal or co-investigator on research grants and contracts.

The Departments of Orthopaedics and Radiology have a long standing history of collaborations in clinical care of patients, education, mentorship and research. Orthopaedic Research at UNC is a rapidly expanding program with strong support from department leadership and collaborators to grow basic science in our labs and clinical research at the point of care in our clinics. The department of Radiology has strong faculty support and leadership in clinical, basic science and translational research. The department supports cross-disciplinary imaging research through the Biomedical Research Imaging Center and has a strong core of faculty and collaborators in the area of informatics. Both departments share the mission of excellence in providing the best care to patients, exemplary training for students and being widely visible as leaders through research, discovery and innovation.

This is an open rank recruitment to include fixed term, variable track, and/or tenure/tenure track appointments.
