Summary: The Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMS) seeks to fill one tenure-track or tenured position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Preference will be given to candidates with a research program in an area of mammalian reproductive physiology/endocrinology that complements existing programs within the department and university. Most reproductive physiology faculty members participate in research on large animals at the Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology Laboratory (ARBL; https://vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/arbl/). Current research strengths at ARBL exist in early embryo development, neuroendocrinology, and pregnancy progression and outcomes, with an emphasis placed on relevant livestock and/or human health and disease. The successful candidate is expected to maintain a robust, independent, extramurally funded research program. Opportunities for collaboration exist with faculty in multiple basic science and engineering departments across campus including those associated with the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Ongoing collaborations also exist with faculty at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Core facilities available include a light and electron microscopy imaging network (https://www.research.colostate.edu/min/) and the University’s Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility (https://www.research.colostate.edu/bio/). In addition, the person hired into this position will be expected to participate in the departmental teaching mission, by contributing to undergraduate, graduate and/or professional (DVM, MD) teaching. Effective mentoring and advising of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are also expected. BMS faculty engage in extensive service and outreach activities which the successful candidate could contribute to depending on interests. This is a 9-month appointment with a primary academic appointment in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. Research/Scholarly Activity (55% time): A strong publication record and evidence of ability to secure competitive extramural grant funding is expected. This person will be expected to collaborate with basic science research programs within BMS and CVMBS, while also conducting independent research in the reproductive sciences with the expectation of intramural and extramural grants and peer-reviewed publications. Teaching/Advising/Mentoring (40% time): The person hired into this position will contribute to teaching biomedical undergraduate, graduate, pre-professional, and postdoctoral trainees and to outreach teaching efforts, which will be tailored by the successful candidate’s expertise and teaching experience. University & Professional Service/Outreach (5% time): Service will be provided at the departmental, college, national and international levels. Description of Work Unit: Leadership in biomedical research, education and outreach is the mission of the Department of Biomedical Sciences. Housed within the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University, the unit is an interdisciplinary department including over 40 faculty with strong international reputations, excellence in extramural support, and a history of educational program development and outreach. The department is the home of both undergraduate and graduate majors and delivers anatomy, neuroscience, and physiology teaching to professional veterinary medical students and human medical students. Undergraduate and graduate students participate in cutting-edge biomedical research in three areas of focus – neurobiology, reproductive biology and integrative physiology. Research faculty within the Department of Biomedical Sciences often participate in one of the University-wide Programs at Colorado State University: The Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology Laboratory (ARBL) or the Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN) program. Additional information about the BMS Department, the faculty, research focus areas, educational programs and service and outreach can be found at https://vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/bms/. CSU is in Fort Collins, Colorado and is a community of ~165,000 people located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The city offers outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities and excellent quality of life. Additional information on the city of Fort Collins can be found at http://www.fcgov.com. Required Job Qualifications: Applicants must have experience in mammalian reproductive biology as evidenced by publication history. Assistant Professor: - PhD or equivalent degree - Minimum 2-years’ experience as a postdoctoral fellow or assistant professor and other qualifying credentials Associate Professor: - PhD or equivalent degree - Currently at the rank of associate professor or five or more years of experience at the assistant professor level with evidence of sufficient scholarly activity and other qualifying credentials For each level, the other qualifying credentials could include: History of grant funding, publications, citations, letters of recommendation, history of invited talks, professional society involvement, creating and directing courses, peer teaching reviews and course surveys, and statements on teaching/research/service. Progress is expected in these areas over time, and whether a candidate is qualified at each level is evaluated by department faculty. Preferred Job Qualifications: Preference will be given to applicants with a strong record and evidence of competitiveness for national-level funding in mammalian reproductive biology. Preferred applicants will have documented excellence in undergraduate, graduate, professional medicine, postdoctoral, and/or outreach teaching efforts in reproductive biology. Leadership is expected in seeking and obtaining extramural funds and private donations for research, with ability to create a broader public awareness and greater appreciation of the BMS Department, ARBL, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and Colorado State University. Application Process: Interested applicants should submit a CV, cover letter, statement of research interests, statement of teaching philosophy, a diversity statement that includes a description of the candidate’s commitment to inclusivity in education and research, and contact information for three professional references by the full consideration deadline of 11:59pm MT on 11/5/2023. Three letters of recommendation will be required for each candidate progressing to an interview. References will not be contacted without prior notification of candidates. Review of applicants will begin after the full consideration deadline and will continue until a successful candidate is found. No mail-in applications or letters will be accepted.
