Additionally, a keen interest in advancing pathology's role, especially in the development of new companion diagnostics for various conditions ranging from benign and malignant hematology to stem cell transplantation and solid tumor malignancies, as well as prenatal and postnatal constitutional diseases, is crucial. This role seems to demand both a breadth of technical expertise and a forward-looking mindset to contribute to the evolving landscape of pathology.
RequirementsThe requirements for candidates for this position are quite stringent, reflecting the need for a high level of expertise and experience in the field of pathology, particularly in cytogenetics and molecular genetics/pathology.

Senior Instructor; should have a minimum of two years of experience as a fellow/equivalent in a reputable institution and should have demonstrated scholarship through research, publications and/or contribution to education.
The position entails co-directing a comprehensive cytogenetics laboratory, which involves conducting chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and analysis of neoplastic and constitutional specimens. Therefore, you should possess substantial experience in these areas, preferably with at least three to five years of experience.
Additionally, you are expected to demonstrate strong capabilities in clinical, translational, or laboratory-based research. This indicates the importance of not only clinical expertise but also the ability to contribute to advancing knowledge and understanding in the field through research endeavors.
Overall, you are required to have a solid foundation in pathology, extensive experience in cytogenetics and molecular genetics/pathology, and a track record of research accomplishments, all of which are crucial for effectively fulfilling the responsibilities of the role.
