The Department of Physiology of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, a constitute institution of the University of North Carolina System, is seeking applicants for three tenure-track faculty positions due to retirement and expansion. The Department currently has 11 full-time faculty, and a strong doctoral training program. Applicants must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree and appropriate postdoctoral training. While individuals with expertise in any area of physiology will be considered, preference will be given to candidates conducting interdisciplinary research in the following areas: cardiovascular; pulmonary; neuroscience; metabolism and exercise physiology. The successful candidates will have a strong publication record and will be expected to develop an extramurally funded research program and to support and mentor graduate students in the Physiology and/or the Bioenergetics Programs (http://www.ecu.edu/hhp). Successful applicants will have an understanding of organ systems physiology and will contribute to team-taught courses for medical, allied health, and graduate students. A competitive start-up package, including guaranteed salary support, is available. 

Interested applicants should forward a curriculum vitae, a short description of their research goals, teaching experience and the names of three references through the on-line ECU-Human Resources site, https://ecu.peopleadmin.com.
