rAbout This Role:

The Department of Anatomy and Physiology within the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University is seeking a pharmacology faculty member (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor). This is a full-time position with rank and salary commensurate with qualifications. The position is available as (1) a research and teaching appointment (tenure-track/tenured) or (2) a primarily teaching appointment (clinical-track) and may be a 9- or 12-month position based on the applicant.

The candidate will be expected to teach pharmacology in the graduate and professional curriculums, and contribute to the service mission of the Department, College, and University. Specific teaching requirements will be tailored to the expertise of the applicant and the needs of the College but it is anticipated that the teaching appointment for this position will be a minimum of 40% for tenure-track and 70% for clinical track. Applicants with the ability to teach additional related biomedical topics, including physiology, are especially desirable.

The overall originality and promise of a candidate\'s research will be prioritized rather than the candidate\'s area of specialization within pharmacology or related fields for tenure-track/tenured candidates. As part of their duties, a tenure-track or tenured candidate will be expected to mentor and train graduate and professional students in an area of the candidate\'s expertise and establish and maintain an independent, dynamic, extramurally-funded research program.

The Department of Anatomy and Physiology seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our land-grant mission to serve the diverse people of Kansas, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning.

Why Join Us:

The Department of Anatomy and Physiology is a collaborative multi-disciplinary biomedical sciences department with responsibilities in instruction, research, service, and continuing education in the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, neuroscience, and animal welfare. The Department consists of approximately 25 full-time faculty, 12 Ph.D. students, and approximately 30 M.S. students. We offer research-based graduate degrees along with a non-thesis one-year M.S. in Biomedical Science degree. Additional information about our department can be found at https://www.vet.k-state.edu/academics/anatomy-physiology/.

The College of Veterinary Medicine is home to three academic departments (Anatomy and Physiology; Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology; and Clinical Sciences). The College enrolls roughly 600 DVM and graduate students and employs more than 130 full-time faculty members engaged in teaching, research, extension, and clinical positions (https://www.vet.k-state.edu/). The College currently has the largest number of board-certified veterinary clinical pharmacologists of any veterinary school in the country. Pharmacology faculty in the college have expertise in comparative drug metabolism and pharmacogenomics, pharmacokinetics, pain management, and antimic obial resistance. The College houses 11 different centers, institutes, and areas of excellence and supports the BSL3 Biosecurity Research Institute and the Johnson Cancer Research Center. There are ample opportunities to collaborate within the College and University as well as with industry (Kansas City Animal Health Corridor and BioNexus KC), the federal government (National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility and the USDA Arthropod-Borne Animal Disease Research Unit), and other regional universities including the
