Description
The Texas A&M University Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy invites nominations and applications for two open rank faculty positions in Social and Administrative Pharmacy in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Each is an 11-month, tenure-track/tenure review upon hire position in College Station. Faculty rank (Assistant/Associate or Full Professor) and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Responsibilities would include developing and maintaining a sustainable and extramurally-funded research program and making significant contributions to research in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences related to one or multiple broader areas including pharmacoepidemiology, utilization and cost of medication and other health care services, sociobehavioral aspects of patient care and health outcomes, and related research areas.
Additional responsibilities include teaching/assisting in the delivery of the College’s PharmD and/or PhD in pharmaceutical sciences programs (e.g., pharmacoepidemiology as well as research methods and biostatistics), mentoring and advising of students and postdocs, and contributing to establishing a positive, supportive and collaborative environment. Current research in the department with potential for collaboration includes pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, drug delivery and formulations, cardiovascular, diabetes, oncology, and infectious disease. There are ample opportunities to engage in collaborative research, conduct applied and contract research, and contribute to enhancing the research portfolio and the service mission of the College and Texas A&M University. The recruited faculty members will each be provided with a competitive start-up package, and the start dates are negotiable.
Both positions are available immediately, and applications will continue to be accepted until the positions are filled. Faculty rank and salary will be dependent on qualifications and experience.
Individuals interested in these positions should submit a cover letter, curriculum vita, personal statement describing research philosophy and interests, and names and contact information for three references through the Interfolio application system (https://apply.interfolio.com/190558).
