 Assistant/Associate/Professor - Toxicology

 

The Department of Physiological Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, OK is seeking applicants for an open rank faculty position (tenure accruing) in toxicology.

 

Qualifications include a DVM (or equivalent) and/or PhD in toxicology. Board Certification in the American Board of Veterinary Toxicology (ABVT) or the American Board of Toxicology (ABT) is desired but not required.  The successful applicant must have excellent written and verbal communication skills and demonstrated ability to work collegially and collaboratively with a diverse population of colleagues and students.

Responsibilities reflect the typical tri-partite mission of a land grant university. The incumbent will be expected to develop and sustain a strong research program in toxicology, as well as participate in the University’s Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program (https://gradcollege.okstate.edu/programs/toxicology/) . The candidate will also be responsible for the teaching of toxicology within the veterinary professional curriculum. In addition, a small service component (case consultation) may be included depending upon the candidate’s experience and interest.   

 

The Department of Physiological Sciences encompasses the disciplines of physiology, anatomical sciences, pharmacology, and toxicology. Members of the department have a history of scholarly productivity and have obtained funding from the NIH including a COBRE center grant for respiratory diseases (the Oklahoma Center for Respiratory and Infectious Disease https://ocrid.okstate.edu/  ), the Department of Defense, USDA, American Heart Association, and other extramural agencies. Faculty also have significant commitments to teaching in both the graduate and DVM professional curricula. The Department houses the multi-institutional Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program which offers substantial opportunities for collaboration.   Preference will be given to those candidates with a research interest that complements existing departmental and college research programs, including respiratory diseases, oncology (via the INTERACT program https://vetmed.okstate.edu/interact/index.html ), and neurotoxicology.

 

The Oklahoma State University System enrolls approximately 36,000 students on its four campuses in Stillwater, Tulsa, Okmulgee, and Oklahoma City. Opportunities for multidisciplinary research exist with faculty in the College's three departments, as well as with other faculty on the Stillwater campus and at the OSU Center for Health Sciences in Tulsa. In addition, opportunities are available for collaboration with researchers at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in Oklahoma City as well as the University of Tulsa.

 

Stillwater is located about an hour’s drive away from Oklahoma's two largest cities, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. With a population of approximately 46,000 residents and a low cost of living, Stillwater has been recognized as one of the fastest growing small towns in America by Forbes magazine. Numerous leisure activities are available including camping, hiking, golf, tennis, state parks, lakes for boating and fishing, theatre productions, rodeos, the excitement of Division 1 sporting events and more.

 

Potential applicants are encouraged to visit the OSU CVM website for further information concerning the Department ( https://vetmed.okstate.edu/physiological-sciences/index.html ) and College of Veterinary Medicine (http://vetmed.okstate.edu ), and the city of Stillwater (https://www.visitstillwater.org ). Applicants should submit a letter of interest indicating research and teaching philosophy and goals, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three references.

Application materials must be submitted online at: jobs.okstate.edu.  

 Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until a suitable candidate is

recruited. Rank and salary will be commensurate with the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience. For inquiries please contact: Dr. Martin Furr, Head of the Department of Physiological Sciences (martin.furr@okstate.edu).
