Job Description

Job Description The University of Alabama at Birmingham* (UAB) Heersink School of Medicine (HSOM)** is recruiting up to 8-10 investigators as part of a major strategic initiative in Addiction, Pain, and/or HIV/HCV and other related conditions in clinical research sciences (translational research, clinical trials, experimental designs, and epidemiology). These clinical (PhD, MD, or MD/PhD) research faculty would join a growing group of faculty in these high priority areas in the Deep South and represents one of the four priority focus areas for the HSOM based on our most recent strategic planning process. Recruitment is for tenured and tenure‐track faculty at all ranks and includes academic appointment in one or more of 28 academic departments across the HSOM. In addition to a primary faculty appointment in the HSOM, applicants may also be considered for either a primary or secondary appointment in UAB’s School of Public Health. Areas of focus for this initiative include:

  • Addiction across various substances (e.g., tobacco, alcohol, stimulants, opioids, cannabis, etc.) – prevention to treatment
  • Acute and chronic pain conditions
  • Novel medication development for addiction and/or pain
  • HIV, HCV and other infectious diseases – prevention to treatment
  • Comorbidities with substance use and/or pain conditions
  • Focus of pain and/or addiction with specialty populations (e.g., LGBTQ+, criminal justice involvement, chronic medical conditions, etc.)
  • Substance use in women, including antenatal and postpartum care
The UAB HSOM has a long-standing commitment to addressing health disparities and promoting health equity through research, education, engagement, and community involvement. The goal is to enhance health and well-being while addressing pervasive intersectional inequalities. We believe it is crucial to champion accessible and innovative platforms that enable research aimed at preventing, diagnosing, and treating addiction, pain and other comorbid conditions that disproportionately affect the Deep South. Successful applicants will join a highly collaborative environment with a focus on the health of the local area (Birmingham), the region (Alabama and the Southeastern United States), and beyond (national and global). The recently formed Collaborative Health Equity Council (CHEC) serves as a convener for numerous Health Equity focused Centers on campus that provide a platform for collaboration and innovation. These include the Forge AHEAD (Addressing Health Equity Across the Deep South) Center, the Center for Women’s Reproductive Health, the Center for Engagement in Disability Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (CEDHARS), the Mary Heersink Institute for Global Health, the Center for Addiction and Pain Prevention and Intervention (CAPPI), and the Minority Health and Health Equity Research Center (MHERC). These population-focused centers work closely with cross-cutting methodologic centers, including the Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education (COERE), the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), and disease-focused centers including the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), and the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, to create a vibrant atmosphere and the infrastructure needed to conduct cutting-edge and impactful research in health equity. Programs such as Live HealthSmart Alabama, All of Us, and the Lakeshore Foundation all contribute to the understanding of and treatment of disease.
