FACULTY POSITION

Pharmacology, Physiology and Neuroscience



The Department of Pharmacology, Physiology and Neuroscience at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine invites applications for a faculty position at the ASSISTANT PROFESSOR level. New faculty members will join a collegial and collaborative Department at a University in the midst of an ambitious program to achieve national prominence in research and education. Candidates with research interests that complement the departmental research programs that focus on studying the molecular or cellular mechanisms underlying physiological processes, complex behaviors, or drug action are desirable. Successful candidates will also be expected to participate in medical and graduate teaching. Applicants must have a doctoral degree and postdoctoral experience. Preference will be given to individuals with experience in medical education, funding success and potential, and research interests that enhance departmental programs targeting neurological, neuropsychiatric, cardiovascular, or endocrine disorders. Substantial startup funds and modern facilities will be provided. The initial appointment is viewed as a nontenure-track position, with transition into a tenure track following establishment of a funded, independent research program and demonstration of teaching competency. Exceptional applicants will be considered for immediate appointment on the tenure track.



Qualified applicants may apply by submitting a single electronic file (PDF or Word) that includes a cover letter summarizing qualifications, curriculum vitae and publication list, a statement of research plans and professional goals, and contact information for four references. The file should be attached to a message sent to: Dr. Marlene Wilson, e-mail: ppn.search@uscmed.sc.edu with "PPN Faculty Search" as the subject.
