Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist (AHWFB) are seeking research faculty to join their emerging Center for Sleep & Circadian Rhythms. This is a unique opportunity to join a thriving and rapidly growing medical school and academic health system in a beautiful, vibrant, diverse and affordable community.

The ideal candidate is a scientist or clinician-scientist at the level of Associate Professor or Professor (could be PhD, MD or MD / PhD) with expertise in epidemiology, behavioral sleep medicine, or clinical psychology. The faculty appointment would reside in an individual department based on the primary specialty of the candidate, with relevant joint appointments in related departments to foster interdisciplinary and translational research. If a team will accompany an applicant, departmental recruitments would be discussed with chairs to fund additional faculty.

Center Goals

• Recruit a team of experts with skills that are generalizable across multiple areas of sleep and rhythms research.
• Create a centralized resource of sleep and rhythms expertise and technologies for use throughout the Enterprise (both research and clinical domains), and serve as a coordinating 'hub' for bringing together different investigators and organizational units involved in sleep- and rhythms-related research and clinical practice.
• Oversee development of center grants, training grants, and clinical trials related to the study of sleep and rhythms and their disorders.
• Pilot new ideas with input from community and organizational partners.
