PHARMACOMETRICS ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR TENURE-TRACK/TENURED FACULTY
POSITION
DIVISION OF PHARMACOTHERAPY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS UNC ESHELMAN SCHOOL
OF PHARMACY
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy invites applications for a full-time,
tenure-track/tenured position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor.
This faculty member will have an academic appointment in the Division of
Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics. The successful candidate will be
responsible for establishing an independent research program in pharmacometrics
with a focus in infectious diseases, mentoring postdoctoral fellows, graduate
and professional students, and teaching advanced coursework in pharmacometrics
at the professional, graduate and postdoctoral level. Applicants should
demonstrate expertise in quantitative systems pharmacology, integrating
biomarkers of pathogen and host biology. Experience with in vitro (one
compartment models, hollow-fiber systems and population analysis profiles, for
example), and in vivo infection models (at least mice and rats, bacteremia and
tissue and lung infections), are highly desirable.
The Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics, a designated
Pharsight Phoenix(r) Center of Excellence, is a nationally recognized, dynamic
and collegial faculty whose vision is to lead the nation in achieving
excellence in innovative translational research, education, and progressive
pharmacy practice to optimize drug therapy outcomes. Collaborative research
opportunities exist with faculty in the Institute for Global Health and
Infectious Diseases, Center for AIDS Research, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer
Center, Carolina Institute for Nanomedicine, Center for Pharmacogenomics and
Individualized Therapy, and other programs in the Schools of Medicine, Public
Health, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy. These Schools comprise one of the
nation's few comprehensive academic health centers located on a world-class
research campus. The Division has vibrant fellowship and graduate programs,
including an NIH-funded T32 postdoctoral training program in Clinical
Pharmacology in collaboration with Duke University and the Hamner Institute for
Drug Safety Sciences.
Qualified candidates must have a doctoral degree in Pharmacometrics,
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biostatistics, Biomedical Engineering, Medicine,
Pharmacy or a closely related discipline, and demonstrate expertise in
modeling, simulation, and quantitative systems pharmacology. The candidate must
have a track record of obtaining extramural funding in pharmacometrics to
support research and teaching at the graduate and postdoctoral levels.
Therefore, the preferred candidate will have prior academic, industry or
regulatory research experience with drug and disease models, quantitative
systems pharmacology, and/or clinical trial methodology; strong working
relationships with partners in the pharmaceutical industry; a record of
collaboration with basic, clinical and/or translational investigators; a
track-record of teaching pharmacometrics at the professional and graduate
level; and a clearly articulated plan to develop an extramurally funded
research program in pharmacometrics in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
Qualified candidates should apply at http://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/84975
and attach the following materials: letter of interest, curriculum vitae, four
letters of reference, and a statement of research goals and teaching philosophy.
