NAMA is seeking a course co-editor/co-director
Apply now!
The North American Metabolic Academy (NAMA) was founded in 2007 and, as a metabolically-intensive annual conference, has become an essential educational experience for genetic and metabolic trainees in North America. It is estimated that one third of current practicing geneticists in the US have attended NAMA.
After 15 years, Jean-Marie Saudubray, the founding executive editor and co-director of NAMA has retired. We are seeking a replacement (wait… that’s impossible!)…er… another course editor/co-director who has the following qualifications:
- Must have strong academic credentials
- Must be able and willing to review the metabolic literature regularly and identify the current and upcoming trends in metabolic medicine
- Must have a strong track record in education and be able to present a well-developed teaching philosophy
- Must help drive the course direction in a collaborative manner
- Must be personable and a good communicator
- Must have strong organizational skills
Such a NAMA leader must have the necessary time to devote to the program, around 100-150 hours/year with periods of varying intensity, plus 9 days around NAMA week.
The course editor/co-director position is a paid position.
If interested, please send a letter of intent that addresses the above qualifications, as well as a curriculum vitae to:
