NIH Intramural Research Program is Recruiting “Earl Stadtman
Investigators”
The NIH Intramural Research Program is seeking candidates to be named
Earl Stadtman Investigators. These tenure-track level positions are
for creative, independent thinkers eager to take on high-risk, high-
impact research. Applicants are asked to share their ideas for a novel
research program, their career aspirations, and how they would
contribute to the NIH mission. The areas of active recruitment include
basic, clinical, epidemiological, and population sciences research.
The Scientific Directors of the NIH’s 23 intramural programs, and the
search committee chairs will work together to identify the finalists
to be recruited as Earl Stadtman Investigators. The National Cancer
Institute’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) will
have the opportunity to select successful candidates as tenure-track
investigators for its research programs. DCEG conducts a national and
international program of multidisciplinary, population- and family-
based studies to discover the genetic and environmental determinants
of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention.
Qualifications/eligibility: Candidates must have a Ph.D., M.D., or
equivalent doctoral degree and have an outstanding record of research
accomplishments as evidenced by publications in major peer-reviewed
journals. Preference will be given to applicants who are in the early
stages of their research careers; only non-tenured applicants will be
considered. Appointees may be U.S. citizens, resident aliens or non-
resident aliens with, or eligible to obtain, a valid employment-
authorization visa.
Salary: Successful candidates are offered competitive salaries
commensurate with experience and qualifications, and they are assigned
ample research space and resources, supported positions and an
operating budget. Scientists focus entirely on their research with
ample opportunities to mentor and train outstanding fellows at all
levels.
How to apply: Complete applications must be received between August 1
and October 1, 2011. Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a
three-page research plan, a one-page description of their vision for
their future research and its potential impact, and contact
information for three professional references through the NIH online
application system at; http://tenuretrack.nih.gov/apply Letters of
recommendation will be requested automatically when you submit your
application. No paper applications will be accepted.
Selection Process: Search committees composed of subject-matter
experts will review and evaluate applicants based on the following
criteria: publication record, potential scientific impact of current
and proposed research, scientific vision, demonstrated independence,
and public health awards. The committees will invite the most highly
qualified candidates to the NIH for a lecture open to the NIH
scientific staff and to interview with the search committee members.
Top candidates will be nominated as finalists for Earl Stadtman tenure-
track positions.
Candidates not selected as Stadtman finalists can be considered for
other open NIH research positions. The entire process from application
review to job offer may take several months, depending on the volume
of applications.
