The University of Waterloo is creating a new School of Pharmacy, focused on basic and applied discoveries that advance the cause of human health. We invite application for tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate and Full Professor levels in the Pharmaceutical Sciences. We are seeking candidates who offer exceptional communication skills, creative/innovative scholarship and research strengths in fields including pharmaceutical engineering, pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical nanotechnology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical immunology, and informatics (pharmaco and medical).
The School of Pharmacy, the first to be established in Canada in over 20 years, offers a rare opportunity to share in the development of a new institution. As part of the world-renowned, entrepreneurial University of Waterloo (UW), the school embraces integration at all levels- theory with practice, pharmacy with medicine, and academia with real-world experience. The institution's culture promotes discovery and innovation, encouraging bold steps and breakthrough developments. Having opened its door, the School will ultimately be home to 480 undergraduate students, approximately 70 graduate students and 30 faculty members, forming the anchor of a brand-new Health Sciences Campus in downtown Kitchener. This exciting development builds on an unprecedented investment by local residents, creating a welcoming community for both scholars and students. Additional information on the School of Pharmacy is available at http://www.pharmacy.uwaterloo.ca. Opportunities for collaboration exist with scientists in the Faculties of Mathematics, Engineering and Science, including UW's new Nanotechnology and Quantum computing programs, and the Waterloo Institute for Health Informatics Research. Researchers at the University of Waterloo benefit from the very generous intellectual property policy of the university, which vests the rights with the inventor.
Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applicants must have a Ph.D. and post-doctoral experience. Candidates at all levels of experience are encouraged to apply. Tangible familiarity with trans-disciplinary research will be an important attribute. Candidates will be expected to establish a successful externally funded research program. Duties will also include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and graduate student supervision.
Applications should include: 1) curriculum vitae, 2) the names of at least three individuals willing to furnish a letter of reference, 3) a one-page statement of teaching philosophy, 4) an outline (one to two pages) of the proposed research program, and 5) a concise statement regarding experiences in trans-disciplinary research. Please direct complete applications via email to pharmjob@uwaterloo.ca. Applications will be accepted until suitable candidates are found.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Waterloo encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including women, members of visible minorities, native peoples, and persons with disabilities.
