The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health announces the search for a tenure-earning faculty position in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the assistant or associate professor level. While all areas of specialization related to Environmental Health will be considered, particular areas of interest are food safety, the role of the microbiome in responses to environmental stressors, or tobacco products risks.
The ideal candidate will utilize emerging methods for assessing environmental influences of health, including, but not limited to: systems biology; computational biology; bioinformatics; cell-based technologies; or novel regulatory testing methods and risk assessment methods. Collaborative opportunities exist with researchers across the UAMS campus as well as at the US Food and Drug Administration's National Center for Toxicological Research (FDA NCTR) just south of the UAMS campus. A strong potential for extramural funding is an important qualification, as is a commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring graduate students.
Candidates should submit an application letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interest and teaching philosophy, and contact information for three references to Dr. Gunnar Boysen, Search Committee Chair, at gboysen@uams.edu. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. UAMS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Women, underrepresented minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
