The Department of Pathology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System is seeking to recruit an Academic Autopsy Pathologist on the clinician/educator track at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level. The ideal candidate is one with broad interest and expertise in autopsy; enthusiasm for teaching and collaboration with clinical colleagues; and excellent communication skills.

Subspecialty board certification in Forensic Pathology is preferred but not required.

Mount Sinai was at the epicenter of initial wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The autopsy team generated an enormous amount of information shared, both nationally and internationally, through numerous publications in high impact journals. Clinical knowledge resulting from such studies has changed the management of COVID-19 patients. As a result, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) chose this site as one of 5 centers for the Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative to perform complete, rapid autopsies with extended tissue collection and biobanking protocols to define the pathophysiology of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or PASC. The successful candidate will join two other autopsy pathologists as well as a team of subspecialty pathologists, residents, and biobanking and other technical support personnel in support of this exciting effort.
