Open-Rank Faculty Position – University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy
Health Services Research, Pharmacoepidemiology or Dissemination & Implementation Science
The University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, invites applications for a tenure-eligible faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. We are seeking scholars with a developing or established research program in health services research, dissemination and implementation science, team science, community-engaged scholarship, and/or pharmacoepidemiology.
Why this Position: Successful candidates gain direct access to strong existing infrastructure, including the Institute for Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (an NIH CTSA-funded hub) and the Center for Health, Engagement and Transformation. This support gives new faculty immediate collaborators, existing datasets and grant-writing support. The College of Pharmacy has a track record of supporting extramural funding acquisition at every rank and start-up packages are negotiable based on research trajectory.
Why Lexington: Lexington is a research university town with a cost of living well below the national average, short commutes, a four-season climate and easy regional access (under a 90-minute flight to most East Coast hubs, including DC). For dual-career households, UK’s size means most fields have a landing spot. Known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” the city boasts a vibrant blend of outdoor scenery, an arts and culture sector elevated by its university status and deep culinary roots.
Candidates should have:
- A PhD, PharmD/PhD, or MD/PhD in a related field
- A record of scholarly productivity and extramural funding (or strong potential) appropriate to rank
- Excellent written and oral communication skills and a collaborative orientation
