Assistant Professor

The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology invites applications for two new tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor to full Professor levels. Candidates must hold Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees; will be expected to develop an extramurally funded research program; and will be expected to participate in our graduate and teaching program in the area of neuropharmacology. Preference will be given to those applicants with active extramural funding and research interests in the development of new treatments for dementia, neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. Successful candidates may qualify for space and a joint appointment in a newly formed Neuroscience Institute that occupies space in a new research building. Serious consideration will be given to outstanding applicants from other areas that are complementary to the department’s current research efforts in cardiovascular, cell signaling, renal and cancer drug development. Information about the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology is available at http://pharmacology.umc.edu. Review of applications will begin in November 2018 and will continue until the positions are filled.
