Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Pharmaceutics – School of Pharmacy

The Duquesne University School of Pharmacy and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences seek to fill a tenure-track faculty position in pharmaceutics at the assistant, associate, or full professor level. Applications from candidates whose research is externally funded are particularly welcome. Duquesne University embraces a teacher-scholar model of higher education. Therefore, qualified candidates will be simultaneously effective as educators and scholars in their field.  

The successful candidate will have expertise in the pharmaceutical sciences. Areas of interest include—but are not limited to—formulation development, drug delivery methods, advanced pharmaceutical modeling, bioprocessing, or related fields such as bioengineering. 

Duquesne is proud of its collegial atmosphere, with opportunities for resource sharing and collaboration between schools within the University and a variety of academic institutions in the Pittsburgh region. Duquesne University is situated in Pittsburgh’s cosmopolitan and historic downtown but set apart by its position atop a scenic bluff overlooking the Monongahela River.

REQUIRED ATTRIBUTES:

Candidate must have a Ph.D. in pharmaceutics, biotechnology, pharmaceutical engineering, or a suitably related field.

Preferred candidates are expected to have established or be actively developing a robust, extramurally funded research program.

Candidates will teach in the Doctor of Pharmacy, M.S., and Ph.D. programs.

Successful candidates are expected to be committed to service and mentoring students.  

 We seek candidates whose research, teaching, and/or service has prepared them to contribute to Duquesne University’s commitment to building and engaging various communities in higher education, particularly in the pharmaceutical sciences.

Alternately, the applicants may possess any equivalent combination of experience and training, which provides the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the essential job functions.

Candidates must be able to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the University Community and be willing to contribute actively to the Mission of the University and to respect the Spiritan Catholic identity of Duquesne University. 

The Mission is implemented through a commitment to academic excellence, a spirit of service, moral and spiritual values, sensitivity to world concerns, and an ecumenical campus community. Duquesne University’s School of Pharmacy opened in 1925 with an enrollment of just 50 students. Today, the School of Pharmacy enrolls over 600 students in its Pharm.D. program (on campus and online pathways) and over 50 M.S. and Ph.D. students. Please visit the School of Pharmacy website to learn more about our school.

Applicants are asked to submit a cover letter, resume/CV, and contact information for a minimum of three professional references.

Applicants are encouraged to describe in their letter of intent how their scholarship will be funded and how it contributes to building and engaging different communities.

Application review will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Applications received by December 15th will receive full consideration.

Questions regarding the application may be directed to Dr. Ira S. Buckner (buckneri@duq.edu), chair of the committee.
