Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children
Somerville,MA
New
Description
The ADA Forsyth Institute was founded in 1910 as the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children (later, the Forsyth Institute), to provide dental care to the disadvantaged children of Boston. While continuing to serve children in need, yet recognizing the ultimate goal is to prevent dental disease, the Institute in 1915 began to focus on scientific research and is today the world's leader in oral health research. In October of 2023, the Institute joined with the American Dental Association to form the ADA Forsyth Institute, a 501(c)(3) entity dedicated to improving people's oral and overall health and powering the profession of dentistry through cutting-edge basic research, creative translational science, innovative clinical technologies, and global public health outreach. Consistent with the Institute's founding mission, the ADA ForsythKids mobile dental program continues to serve children in need. The ADA Forsyth Institute invites applications from creative, dynamic, and collaborative scientists for faculty positions at all levels. We seek exceptional individuals whose scientific vision, creativity, and contributions have the potential to shape the future of oral, dental, and craniofacial research. Successful candidates will have established a cutting-edge, externally funded research program and will bring a record of impactful scholarship, collaborative leadership, and commitment to scientific excellence. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research aligns with one or more of the Institute's strategic scientific focus areas:
- Microbiology and the oral microbiome
- Inflammation and immunology
- Craniofacial biology and bioengineering
At ADA Forsyth, faculty are expected not only to lead outstanding scientific research programs, but also to help strengthen the Institute's prestige, provide wise counsel, foster collaboration, and proactively enhance our mission to improve oral and overall health through discovery, innovation, education, and translation. Qualified candidates must hold a PhD, DMD, MD, DDS, or equivalent doctoral degree.
ADA Forsyth Institute offers a highly collaborative and intellectually stimulating research environment supported by shared state-of-the-art equipment and core facilities, including a clinical research center and a germ-free animal facility. Faculty benefit from exceptional opportunities for scientific collaboration, technology development, entrepreneurship, translational impact, and mentorship of the next generation of researchers. We welcome applications from highly motivated individuals who wish to contribute to the Institute's sustained excellence. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will continue until the positions are filled. Interested candidates should apply online and submit:
- Cover letter
- Curriculum vitae
- Statement of research interests and future research plans, three pages or fewer
- Contact information for three professional references
Join the ADA Forsyth Institute and help advance a legacy of scientific discovery, innovation, and impact. Questions regarding these positions may be directed to facultypositions@forsyth.org.
