Assistant/Associate Professor
Nutrition Sciences
The Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions (CHS) Nutrition Sciences program is seeking two full-time, academic year (9-month) tenure-eligible faculty members at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in the area of basic nutrition sciences.
The anticipated start date is Fall of 2021, but may be negotiable.
Preferred research focus areas of applicants include those related
to nutrition-related obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
cancer, immunology, and endocrinology.
Successful applicants will contribute to the university’s mission
through teaching, research, and service. We seek applicants who
will contribute to our nutrition program and expand our
interdisciplinarity and translational research collaborations
within CHS, with other academic units throughout the university,
and with external institutions and community partners. Successful
applicants will teach both undergraduate and graduate courses
online and on-ground, and mentor students in research and
professional development. Service to the college, university, and
community is expected.
For the rank of Assistant Professor, preferred applicants should
have postdoctoral research experience in the related fields.
Exceptions may be given to outstanding doctoral students who will
complete a doctorate degree prior to appointment. For the rank of
Associate Professor, applicants must have a nationally or
internationally recognized research program, as well as a record of
excellence in teaching and mentoring students and in service.
Salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with
experience.
This position will also work with faculty across the college to
address our Grand Challenges, complex and difficult health problems
which require translational research, transformative collaboration
and innovation. Through research, academic programs and service,
the college is focused on these Grand Challenges: Addressing the
systems of health care and the health needs of populations, and
optimizing health and human performance of individuals across the
lifespan. We are particularly interested in making an impact on
populations with significant health disparities. We welcome
applications from candidates whose scholarship complements the
existing expertise within the College of Health Solutions (https://chs.asu.edu/faculty-research).
In addition, we encourage research collaborations with
investigators from diverse academic fields and community
partners.
Responsibilities for this position include developing and maintaining a successful research program, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, mentoring students and junior faculty (depending on rank), and providing service to the program and university as well as to the community and profession. The ideal applicant will present evidence of a successful research trajectory commensurate with the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, including extramural funding and peer-reviewed publications, and a strong commitment to high quality teaching and mentoring.
The College values our cultural and intellectual diversity, and continually strives to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. Veterans and individuals who can strengthen the diversity of the academic community are encouraged to apply.
