The successful candidate will have a broad interest and strong skills in diagnostic neuropathology, teaching, and research.

The department contains a state-of the-art Molecular Diagnostics Division that works closely with the diagnostic Neuropathology service. There is an active Division of Experimental Pathology and an associated PhD-granting program (Molecular and Cellular Basis of Disease) in which many faculty members participate, either as principal investigator or clinical mentor/collaborator. UVA research centers of excellence include the NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, the cross-institutional Neuroscience Graduate Program, and the Brain Immunology and Glia Center.
