Assistant Professor, Associate Professor

ECU is in Greenville, a city of 90,000 residents in the coastal region of North Carolina. Greenville offers a growing, vibrant college-town atmosphere, a temperate climate, and outstanding cultural and outdoor recreational opportunities along with affordable costs of living (www.greenvillenc.gov). ECU is a member of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system, dedicated to serving our state and its people through world-class teaching, outreach, service, research, and scholarship.

The Department of Pharmacology consists of 13 full-time faculty members, nine full-time research technicians, three postdoctoral scientists, two full-time administrative staff, and 13 graduate students. The department teaches pharmacology, therapeutics, and toxicology to medical, dental, graduate, and nursing students. A wide variety of specialized courses are also taught for graduate students. The educational objective of the department is to provide a sound basic foundation upon which medical and dental students may build rational approaches to drug therapy regardless of the area of clinical specialization. The graduate program through the Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences, Pharmacology and Toxicology Concentration, is broadly based to prepare students for careers in academics, research, government, industry, and medicine.

State-of-the-art facilities support research across pharmacology and toxicology domains, with strengths in cardiovascular, neuro-, and cancer pharmacology and developmental and neurotoxicology. Faculty have multiple collaborations with scientists across the university and with academic, government, and industrial scientists outside the university. The Department has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research and has maintained a strong record of extramural funding from myriad sources. In addition to their teaching duties, each of the faculty has a research laboratory and performs research in his/her area of expertise. Faculty are expected to apply for grant support and to publish the results of their research in professional journals.

The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at ECU invites applicants for a full-time (12-month) tenure-track faculty position in Pharmacology or Toxicology as the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, commensurate with qualifications and experience. The selected faculty are expected to be highly research-active, serve as a catalyst for new research projects to strengthen current areas of pharmacology and/or toxicology, and expand the department's existing technological and molecular biological base.

However, individuals conducting state-of-the-art research in any area of the pharmacological or toxicological sciences will be considered. Successful candidates are expected to establish/maintain independent, extramurally supported research programs, and build a strong record of scholarship through peer-reviewed publications. Opportunities are available and encouraged for interdisciplinary research interactions within the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology and other departments and centers at the Brody School of Medicine and East Carolina University. The tenure-track faculty member will also be expected to teach pharmacology and/or toxicology to professional and graduate students and promote the development of the department through other forms of service supporting ECU's commitment to student learning and regional transformation.

Contingent upon the availability of funds

Candidates for appointments above the rank of Assistant Professor must have current extramural funding and evidence of active contribution to graduate training and medical education.
