The Department is also home to the Center for Anatomical Sciences, dedicated to training medical, allied health, and graduate students in the anatomical sciences on the UNTHSC campus.

The desired candidate will qualify for tenure at the full professor level in an academic department at UNTHSC and have demonstrated ability to mentor and develop faculty, a distinguished record of extramural funding such as NIH, NSF, EPA, etc., demonstrated experience in building externally funded multi-disciplinary and translational research programs that span multiple research paradigms and models, prior experience fostering and creating highly successful cross-disciplinary teams spanning basic, applied, clinical, population health and other expertise for programmatic translational research and the capacity to build a culture of collaboration across disciplines, departments and schools for research and education.
