Applications are invited for two Open Rank faculty positions in the Department of Cell Systems and Anatomy (CSA), Joe R. & Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine, at the University of Texas Health at San Antonio. We seek applicants interested and experienced in teaching human gross anatomy for dental, medical, health professions and/or graduate students, including lecture and laboratory courses with dissections. Candidates should have a PhD, MD, DDS, DVM, dual degrees, or international equivalent degrees.  The ideal applicants will have formal coursework and experience teaching human gross anatomy to dental, medical, or health professional students so that they could immediately become active participants in gross anatomy courses.

Evidence of a strong commitment to excellence in teaching is preferred and does not exclude candidates with research programs. Potential applicants are invited to visit our website https://lsom.uthscsa.edu/dcsa/.

 

The primary educational responsibilities will include contributing to high-quality anatomical instruction, including incorporating modern digital technology, course preparation and administration, delivery, assessment, and working collaboratively with other faculty teaching anatomy. Teaching formats include large-group lectures, small-group active learning, and cadaveric dissection laboratory sessions.  Experience with clinical case-based, team-based, and self-directed active learning pedagogy is preferred.  Familiarity with three-dimensional anatomy software programs and virtual platforms will be an asset.  The successful applicant will participate in scholarship and departmental, university, and external service activities to enhance their career development as a full faculty member. Faculty members have the opportunity to mentor master’s students within our anatomy track or work with medical students on research projects. Research in CSA encompasses undergraduate medical education best practices and innovative tools, anatomic variations, cancer biology, aging, neuroscience, and stem cell biology. 

 

In addition to clinical and academic departments, the UT Health at San Antonio is enriched by the Nathan Shock Center for Excellence in Biology of Aging, an NCI-designated Cancer Center, an NIH-funded Clinical Translational Science Award, and the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute.  The UT Health Science Center is designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution.  This is a wonderful opportunity for a new faculty member to join a department with outstanding educators and a diverse research portfolio in an institution that values clinical service, teaching, and research.  The UT Health San Antonio is a Tier One research institution located in the northwest region of San Antonio, which sits as a gateway to the picturesque Texas Hill Country.  San Antonio is among the fastest-growing cities in the nation with much to offer, including an attractive cost-of-living and dynamic culture, diversity, and history.
