Alden March Bioethics Institute is a research, education and outreach program comprised of faculty in twelve research and educational institutions in the New York Capital District. AMBI seek candidates with outstanding records and promise to contribute to its expanding research, teaching, publishing and outreach programs in bioethics in one of four new positions.

Nominations and applications are invited for the position of tenure-track associate or full professor of medical ethics, medicine & pediatrics (3 year renewable), to begin July 2006. Applicants for this position must possess the M.D. or equivalent, and would ideally also hold the Ph.D. or other (MA, MS, MPH, JD) specific training in bioethics. The ideal candidate will have a clear track record of funded and published research related at least in part to ethical issues in transplantation and/or pediatrics. The candidate will participate in the Institute's research, teaching, clinical ethics consultation and outreach programs, as well as the mentoring of undergraduate medical students and/or the care of patients in the division of Med/Ped of the Department of Medicine.
Position #2: Assistant Professor of Medical Ethics

Applicants for this position must have a minimum of a PhD, MD, MD/PhD or JD, which includes training in bioethics. The ideal candidate will have both a record and sufficient promise to make a major contribution to one or more of the Institute's expanding research programs: in neuroethics, ethics in nanotechnology, ethics in biodefense research, and ethical issues in stem cell research, programs that would provide opportunities for significant collaboration with, among others, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, the GE Healthcare/AMC Neurosciences Institute and the Brain Computer Interface group of the Wadsworth Center. This candidate will conduct a program of research, engage in public outreach, and consult with policymakers. Teaching at the graduate and professional level AMBI's masters, dual-degree and doctoral programs in bioethics is possible but not necessary, as is teaching in the undergraduate medical curriculum, or participation in the institution's clinical ethics and/or benchside ethics consultation program. This is a continuing search; previous applicants need not update their files.

Applicants for this position must have a minimum of a MSN, with experience in clinical care and training in bioethics.

Position #4: Empirical Research Coordinator
Applications are invited for the position of Empirical Research Coordinator in the Program on Ethics & Length of Stay in the ICU (2 years renewable) to begin June 2006. Applicants for this position must hold the bachelors degree and have some skill in database design and development, data collection and entry, study monitoring and data analysis; in a study of: factors that affect length of stay in the ICU, and the effectiveness of an intervention in decreasing length of stay.
