Interdisciplinary New Faculty Recruitment in Craniofacial Development

描述(由申请者提供)：南加州大学(USC)P30项目旨在招聘初级教员，他们的研究兴趣与我们的目标相辅相成，即增强我们对塑造颅面形态发生的多学科事件及其畸形的了解，以及利用干细胞生物学进行再生。这些新教师将被南加州大学牙科学院(USCSD)和凯克医学院(KSOM)联合招聘，使他们能够获得大学范围内的基础设施研究资源。这些资源包括技术支持、核心实验室和完全接触研究生和博士后研究员。我们将为他们提供的最重要的资源是一支才华横溢、垂直分层的教职员工队伍，他们的兴趣与他们自己的研究兴趣相同，他们致力于指导这些新同事走上独立生物医学研究的道路。南加州大学两所学院的领导层承诺提供空间资源和教师工资，这将使我们的新同事在未来四年内将75%以上的专业时间投入到奖学金工作中。年终目标设定和报告机制已经到位，将为这两名新同事提供业绩衡量标准。这些指标将得到审查，并将制定一项计划，以增强他们的优势，同时削弱他们在实现终身教职和晋升的道路上的任何弱点 南加州。最终，这个P30项目的成功与否取决于这两名新招聘的教职员工的职业成功、他们与现有杰出教职员工的融合以及南加州大学颅面生物学项目的丰富和扩展。 公共卫生相关性：这个由南加州大学(USC)牙科学院(SD)和凯克医学院(KSOM)合作的项目将为南加州大学初级教员的发展和南加州大学的学术项目提供关键支持，并肯定会对改善所有美国人的口腔健康保健产生长期的影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Southern California (USC) P30 project is directed at recruiting junior faculty members whose research interests are complementary to our goal of enhancing our understanding of the polydisciplinary events shaping craniofacial morphogenesis, their malformations and the use of stem cell biology for their regeneration. These new faculty members will be jointly recruited into the USC School of Dentistry (USCSD) and Keck School of Medicine (KSOM), permitting their access to university wide infrastructural research resources. These resources include technical support core laboratories and full access to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The most important resource we will supply them with is a highly talented, vertically stratified faculty cohort whose interests parallel their own research interests and who are dedicated to mentoring these new colleagues towards a path of independent biomedical research. The leadership of the two USC schools commits to space resources and faculty salaries that will permit our new colleagues to devote greater than 75% of their professional time over the next four years to their scholarship efforts. Year-end goal setting and reporting mechanisms are in place that will provide metrics of performance for these two new colleagues. These metrics will be reviewed and a plan created to enhance their strengths while attenuating any weaknesses as they achieve a path towards tenure and promotion at the University of Southern California. Ultimately, the success of this P30 project is measured by the career success of these two newly recruited faculty members, their integration with the existing distinguished faculty experts and the enrichment and expansion of the craniofacial biology program at USC. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This collaborative project between the University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry (SD) and Keck School of Medicine (KSOM) will provide crucial support for the development of junior faculty members and academic programs at the USC and will certainly have a long lasting impact towards the improvement of oral health care for all Americans.
