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 candidates research will be
prioritized rather than the candidates 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 candidates 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
