Applicants should have (i) PhD, PharmD, MD or equivalent in a relevant scientific discipline; (ii) postdoctoral or faculty experience in a relevant scientific discipline; and (iii) record of research productivity as evidenced by peer reviewed publications; and preferably have (iv) research area that aligns with and/or builds on existing and future programmatic areas in the School and the Faculty; (v) extramural support as PI; (vi) evidence of leadership and collaborative interactions and (vii) excellent oral and written communication skills.
The appointees are expected to (a) teach in the Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) and graduate programmes; (b) develop and maintain an extramurally funded research programme in an area that aligns with or builds on the strengths of the School of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Medicine; and (c) provide service to the School, Faculty, University and the scientific discipline.
Applicants should submit an online application and attach (1) a letter of intent that identifies the rank for which you are applying for (Associate Professor or Assistant Professor), and addresses how your experience matches the qualifications for the position; (2) a proposed plan of research at CUHK; (3) a description of your teaching philosophy; (4) a complete curriculum vitae; and (5) names, addresses and contact information for at least three professional references.
Candidates will be consulted before references are contacted, and all grants will be validated with the appropriate funding agency.
