Employment Type: Permanent Faculty Vacancy ID: FAC0006004 Salary Range: Dependent on Qualifications Position Summary/Description: The Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy invites applications for a 12‑month fixed‑term faculty position at the rank of assistant, associate, or full professor. The primary focus of this position will be teaching in the professional Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program. The School's PharmD program is a rigorous four‑year program with campuses in Chapel Hill, NC and Asheville, NC. Through the PharmD curriculum, students engage in both didactic coursework and experiential learning, immersing them in real‑world patient care. In 2015, the School launched a transformative curriculum designed to emphasize active engagement, foster problem‑solving and scientific inquiry, and immerse students in patient care early and often throughout their education. Our PharmD graduates are highly successful in a wide range of practice environments, including pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, government agencies, academia, and other healthcare and business sectors. The School is committed to maintaining the highest quality education and must recruit the best educators to sustain excellence.
