Job description
University of Rochester: Office of the Provost: University of Rochester Medical Center: School of Medicine and Dentistry: Pharmacology & Physiology
Salary Range or Pay Grade
$115,000 - $500,000
Description
The Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Rochester invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor rank. We seek a creative, enthusiastic scientist with clear potential to secure extramural funding for their research program (active extramural funding is required for candidates for Associate or Full Professor) who will synergize with the highly collaborative environment of the Department and the strategic initiatives of the Medical Center’s broader research community. The Department, which has added ten tenure-track faculty members over the past several years, offers outstanding research and graduate training environments. Established research strengths in the department revolve around cell signaling in the context of physiology and disease and include: calcium signaling, G protein-coupled receptor pharmacology and signaling, ion channel structure/function, and mitochondrial biology. While applicants with research interests in all areas in pharmacology and physiology are encouraged to apply, applicants with research programs that bridge the above department strengths with current institutional strategic initiatives in neuroscience, RNA biology, immunotherapeutics, and cancer biology are of particular interest. The successful applicant will receive a highly competitive start-up package, generous laboratory space, and access to a wide range of state-of-the-art core facilities.
The University of Rochester Medical Center, the School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the adjacent Schools of Arts, Sciences and Engineering are part of a private, world-class research university, providing excellent opportunities for highly diverse, cross-disciplinary interactions and collaborations.
Include a cover letter addressed to Dr. Robert Dirksen, Lewis Pratt Ross Professor and Chair of Pharmacology and Physiology; curriculum vitae; 2–3-page description of research plans; teaching statement; 2-3 recent key publications; three references. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and should be received by December 1, 2026.
Qualifications
PhD and/or MD degree or equivalent.
At least two years of post-doctoral training
