Research and other scholarly pursuits are encouraged and supported.

Successful candidates will be expected to act as the primary instructor and course coordinator in one or more courses within their areas of expertise, and contribute to team teaching efforts where appropriate. Limited participation in the Clinical Skills curriculum is expected for Clinical Science appointees.  All faculty members are expected to participate in faculty committee work and school governance and hold office hours for student mentoring.
