The Division of Health Outcomes is dedicated to improving the health of society. Fostering opportunities for collaboration among faculty within and outside of the division in both teaching and research activities, particularly those that are practice-related, our faculty explore topics related to utilization and cost of medication and other health care services, patient behaviors and outcomes, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacoepidemiology, and practice-based research. To help advance this mission, we are seeking a distinguished applicant to fill one tenure-track, faculty position at the rank of assistant OR associate professor, depending on qualifications.

Primary responsibilities include teaching in the graduate and professional pharmacy programs, mentoring graduate students, and performing innovative research and scholarship. Candidates at the rank of Assistant Professor are expected to demonstrate strong potential for establishing a vigorous, independent, and externally funded research program. Candidates at the rank of Associate Professor are expected to have clear evidence of research accomplishment, established and sustained external funding, a track-record of research collaboration, and teaching proficiency consistent with a research-intensive university. Preference will be given to candidates with federal funding. The successful candidate will be expected to compete for independent and collaborative funding from public and private sources in support of their research program and collaborate with faculty across campus, including the Dell Medical School, School of Nursing, Steve Hicks School of Social Work, and the School of Public Health. Additionally, the college has affiliations with health systems, public and private payers, as well as safety net organizations which provide further opportunities for collaborations.

The College of Pharmacy is consistently ranked as one of the top five colleges of pharmacy in the country and the division has seven tenured and tenure-track research faculty, two research scientists, and approximately 30 M.S. and Ph.D. graduate students and health outcomes fellows. The division houses the Texas Center for Health Outcomes Research and Education (TxCORE), where a diverse group of researchers partners with stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry, managed care, clinical research organizations, pharmacy organizations and associations, and health care institutions to address medication and health-related issues.
