Employment Opportunities

The University at Buffalo (UB) School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SPPS) is seeking to fill eight tenure track (open rank) faculty positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor level to seed the development of the UB Drug Discovery, Development, and Evaluation Hub (DDDE). This new research hub will provide leadership and creative approaches to support core innovations in drug discovery/development as well as the development of a translational therapeutic core to support clinical pharmacology, policy development and evaluative clinical sciences.

Academic Environment:
SPPS is a world-class pharmacy school with a long and proud tradition of fundamental contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences and the practice of pharmacy. The University offers a unique cluster of research-intensive graduate programs and health professions schools which, together with strategic strengths in chemistry, biology, and engineering and a close relationship with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, provides an unsurpassed environment for faculty success. These high impact partnerships are unique to our area and not readily available at other public research universities.

Personal Connections:
At UB SPPS we value the ‘personal connection’. The contributions, presence, and perspectives of all school members are valued and integrated into a supportive environment, fostering student growth, research discovery and development of diverse faculty leaders across the disciplines.

DDDE Core Areas:

Research specialty/focus areas:
Medicinal and biological chemistry; quantitative chemistry and molecular modeling; target identification; biologically-based drug delivery; pharmaco-engineering and materials science; protein engineering; quantitative systems pharmacology; clinical pharmacology; health outcomes; policy evaluation.

SUNY Empire Innovation Support:
Within the DDDE Core, are unique and innovative opportunities to support professorships (one in: Drug Discovery and Design and one in: Drug Delivery) with funding from the prestigious State University of New York Empire Innovation Program. These two professorships will focus on protein engineering or other closely-related discipline in protein-based therapeutics and biologically-based drug delivery approaches.

Rank:
Appointment in these positions will be at an academic rank commensurate with experience.

Scholarship/Research Responsibilities:

Faculty members will develop a sustainable, funded program of research in the relevant area of expertise. Collaborative scholarship is strongly encouraged among faculty colleagues within the school and across the university.

Teaching Responsibilities:
Faculty members will contribute to one or more of the school’s degree programs (PharmD, Ph.D., MS, or BS) based on area of specialization and alignment with course delivery needs.
