The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University has an immediate opening for a full-time Assistant/Associate Director of Cytogenetics, at the rank of Assistant to full Professor, depending on qualifications. The successful candidate will be based at Emory University Hospital, a tertiary care center serving the Atlanta metropolitan area.

The successful candidate must hold an MD and/or PhD, be Board-certified or Board-eligible in Clinical Cytogenetics or Laboratory Genetics and Genomics, and have strong organizational and administrative skills.
