Positions available in VIBS
Faculty
Assistant or Associate Professor - Teaching Gross
Anatomy/Neuroanatomy
Posted 3/25/2013
The Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences in the
College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University is
seeking applications for a fully funded, 12-month, clinical-track
Assistant or Associate Professor Faculty position
(non-tenure-track) with a primary commitment to teaching Gross
Anatomy to professional veterinary students. In exceptional cases
tenure track at the assistant or associate professor level will be
considered. The ability to also teach clinical neuroscience to
professional students, if necessary, is highly desirable.
Applicants must hold a DVM or equivalent, as all anatomy courses
are heavily clinically weighted, and demonstrate a strong record of
excellence in teaching. Documentation of teaching must demonstrate
prior responsibility for both course lecture and laboratory
teaching. The successful applicant will be expected to devote
70-80% effort to teaching mainly in the professional (DVM)
curriculum, including the possibilities of contributing to two
semesters of gross anatomy courses, and, if necessary, a clinical
neuroanatomy course. The successful applicant may also be asked to
teach or assist in the teaching of undergraduate gross anatomy
courses in addition to or rather than in the professional anatomy
courses. The successful applicant will be expected to devote
approximately 20-30% effort to service and scholarship. Scholarship
may include collaborative bench research or teaching scholarship in
his or her area of interest. Documented records of prior
productivity in research and/or teaching scholarship are required.
The successful applicant will join an active, clinically weighted
anatomy teaching group with expertise in all aspects of veterinary
anatomy and a department dedicated to excellence in teaching and
scholarship. Departmental faculty demonstrate expertise in both
teaching and scholarship in the areas of neuroscience, reproductive
biology, biomedical genetics, epidemiology and public health,
toxicology, and science and technology journalism. Salary and
academic rank will be commensurate with training and
experience.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of application
describing their interest in the position; a curriculum vitae; a
statement of prior teaching experience, responsibility, and
philosophy; a statement of research and/or teaching scholarship
interests and prior productivity; and the names, addresses,
telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of at least three
references. Please submit to Ms. Dana J. Parks, Assistant to the
Department Head, at dparks@cvm.tamu.edu or by post to VMA Bldg. Rm.
107, College Station, TX 77843-4458. Screening of applications will
begin May 1, 2013 and continue until the position is filled. Texas
A&M University is an equal opportunity employer and actively
seeks diversity among its employees. Background check is
required.
