Opportunity to grow
East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine is seeking candidates to fill a faculty position in the Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology (https://anatomy-cellbiology.ecu.edu/). Successful applicants for this position will have expertise in teaching cadaveric dissection-based human gross anatomy. Candidates with expertise in teaching medical histology or neuroanatomy are highly encouraged to apply. Both positions are teaching-oriented and do not require research experience, although there will be ample opportunities to engage in research collaborations within the department. Please note that our teaching team will provide training opportunities to advance candidates’ teaching portfolio.
The successful applicant will join a collegial and cohesive team of gross anatomy, embryology, histology, and neuroscience teaching faculty in a department that recognizes the importance of faculty teaching. Early career applicants receive mentorship by senior faculty with the goal of moving them into leadership positions (e.g., course directorships). Interest in developing innovative instructional methods and tools, including state-of-the-art digital technologies, is desired, as is service at the institutional and school levels.
