| Job Description: |
The Department of Physiological Sciences in the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for a full-time, 12-month, tenure track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent) degree and advanced training in toxicology. Examples include, but are not limited to, aquatic, molecular, chemical, genetic, computational, artificial intelligence, and environmental health. The ideal candidate will have an established, independent, externally funded research program in any area of veterinary, human or environmental toxicology, and demonstrated teaching experience in professional and graduate programs. Primary responsibilities for this position include developing a strong research program and classroom and/or laboratory instruction of veterinary and graduate students as appropriate to their expertise. The successful candidate may also have leadership opportunities to be a member of the UF campus-wide Center for Environmental and Human Toxicology (CEHT). The successful applicant will also be expected to develop a course at the graduate student level. The center acts to facilitate collaborative research, graduate education, and outreach in toxicology across multiple Colleges, including Medicine, Engineering, Public Health and Health Profession, and Veterinary Medicine and maintains research support cores in aquatic and analytical toxicology.
The College of Veterinary Medicine is part of the University of Florida Health Science Center, which houses six health-related colleges (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health & Health Professions, and Veterinary Medicine). It is the only health science center in the southeast and one of only three nationally, where all six health colleges are located on the same campus. The CVM has equally strong ties to the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. These alliances create opportunities for vibrant research collaborations, academic depth in Artificial Intelligence, and a robust human clinical enterprise, which has aided the UF Veterinary Hospital system in becoming a leader in veterinary medical care. The campus is in Gainesville, a vibrant and growing community with numerous cultural amenities and outstanding natural beauty (see http://www.visitgainesville.com/arts-culture-history/).
