The Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at Drexel University College of Medicine is actively seeking applications for full-time tenure-track faculty to fill positions in a number of areas.  Applications at the Assistant or Associate Professor level will be considered as part of the first step of an initiative to expand the Department’s research activities. 

We seek outstanding candidates with demonstrated ability to pursue research in a number of areas including cellular and molecular pharmacology, behavioral pharmacology, integrative/animal model systems, neuropharmacology and epigenetics.  Candidates will be expected to demonstrate the capacity to establish or transfer an outstanding and scientifically sound research program, attract and maintain research funding, be committed to training and education at the graduate and medical school levels, and to participate in creating a collegial and collaborative research environment.  Competitive start-up packages will be available.

The Department of Pharmacology and Physiology is one of four basic science departments within the College of Medicine.  Opportunities for collaborative efforts with these departments as well as with the clinical departments, the School of Biomedical Engineering and College of Engineering are ongoing and strongly encouraged, as are collaborations with other institutions and organizations within the Greater Philadelphia Area.

The Department of Pharmacology and Physiology is in the process of renovating laboratory and support space to accommodate new and existing faculty as part of the overall initiative to enhance the departmental research and educational strengths.  There is a newly established program in Drug Discovery and Development within the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, an intent to develop an emphasis within the department on pain research, along with University-wide strategic initiatives in autism and pain.  Candidates with this experience in the above-named areas will be given special consideration during this initial review period.
