The Department of Pediatrics at Nemours Children's Health, Delaware (NCH-D) is excited to announce the recruitment of a sickle cell researcher for the new $3 million Lisa Dean Moseley Foundation Endowed Chair in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Research. The Endowed Chair for SCD Research is part of the Lisa Dean Moseley Foundation gift of $78 million to lead NCH-D to national prominence in cancer and blood disorders, with SCD research identified as a key priority. This individual will be instrumental in leading and expanding the current program scientifically and clinically, and will join and strengthen an already productive SCD group. The Moseley Foundation Institute is already home to an NIH funded $10.5 million Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) award for SCD research and numerous investigator, industry and consortium sponsored trials. The Moseley Foundation Institute SCD team collaborates closely with the Nemours clinical sites in Florida and boasts a robust clinical informatics infrastructure. In total, Nemours cares for ~1,000 children and adolescents with SCD with 300 living in the Delaware Valley. Nemours Children's and the Moseley Foundation Institute are committed to providing state-of-the-art patient care including transformative therapies.

We seek an investigator with a track record of extramural funding and ongoing work in SCD research, clinical (if applicable), and academic success. Our vibrant clinical and research team is excited that we will be opening our doors to expanded inpatient and outpatient spaces within NCH-D in 2025. This physical expansion fosters collaboration amongst patient care teams and facilitates our ability to deliver the highest quality, state-of-the-art care to our patients and families.

Opportunities and Expectations for Leadership
