  • Take on academic leadership roles as needed.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

  • A terminal degree (PhD, DSc, DO, MD, etc.) in anatomy or a relevant field from an accredited institution.
  • Demonstrated academic experience in biomedical sciences education, preferably in a medical school setting.
  • Eligibility to work in the United States without sponsorship is preferred, although the College may consider sponsorship for exceptional candidates.
  • Maintain appropriate licensure for healthcare practice.

  • Commitment to supporting students from diverse backgrounds.
