The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest in teaching pathology residents, medical and graduate students. There is an expectation of scholarly activity including collaborative research and publications, but the candidate will not be expected to submit grants for extramural funding.

We are a non-profit 496 bed academic medical center located in the South End of Boston. The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine has 37 faculty who engage in clinical service, education and research.

Boston University and Boston Medical Center Health System are equal opportunity, affirmative action employers. Candidates underrepresented in medicine and science are encouraged to apply.

The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine strongly believes that the cultural and social diversity of our faculty, staff and students is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our clinical, research and academic programs. As a department and institution, we embrace and champion equity, diversity and inclusion.

The salary of the finalist selected for this role will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to qualifications, experience, education, licenses, specialty, training, and departmental budget. The salary range is $240,951 to $427,772. The above hiring range represents a good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting.

BU conducts a background check on all final candidates for certain faculty and staff positions.

The background check includes contacting the final candidate’s current and previous employer(s) to ask whether, in the last seven years, there has been a substantiated finding of misconduct violating that employer’s applicable sexual misconduct policies.

To implement this process, the University requires a final candidate to complete and sign the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” after execution of an offer letter.
