Faculty Position in the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School The Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) within the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) invites applications for an appointment at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor of Harvard Medical School, commensurate with accomplishments and experience. The CGM comprises one of the largest and most vibrant hubs of genomic medicine research in the world. The CGM includes 46 faculty and over 400 individuals contributing to all facets of genomic medicine, including the discovery of genetic variation across diverse global populations, interrogation of disease mechanisms, and translating these discoveries to ultimately diagnose and treat human disease. The CGM, directed by Dr. Michael Talkowski, includes faculty within and outside of affiliated Units engaged in research across this ‘genomic medicine cycle’, including an Analytical and Translational Genetics Unit (ATGU), a Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit (PNGU), a Molecular Neurogenetics Unit (MNU), and a Genomic Medicine Unit (GMU).
