With established community partners in the Gulf South, the Center is actively engaged in T3-T4 translational research focused on health outcomes, adherence behaviors, health equity, and dissemination and implementation research and conducts primarily federally-funded (e.g, NIH) clinical trials, observational studies, and secondary analyses of existing databases.

As a tenure track faculty member, the successful candidate will contribute to teaching and mentoring missions, develop and maintain active research programs and contribute to institutional and professional service.

For physician candidates, there is an opportunity to participate in the growth and expansion of Tulane's medical services in New Orleans.  In the last 7 years, University Medical Center (UMC) has opened a 412-bed hospital and the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System (SLVHCS) opened its new 200 bed hospital facility.  Both the UMC and SLVHCS hospitals serve as key clinical practice sites for our faculty.  Tulane boasts a top-ranked School of Public Health, actively productive research across multiple research centers, and is a major participating partner in the Louisiana Clinical and Translational Research Center, all located in immediate proximity to the downtown School of Medicine and our three affiliated hospitals.  Faculty enjoy competitive salaries, benefits package, and opportunities for joint appointments across Schools.
