Position Description

Position Description

The Department of Nutrition in the Gillings School of Global Public Health and School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) invites applications for two (2) open-rank tenure-track or tenured positions in nutrition (one in basic sciences, one in behavioral and/or intervention sciences), with an academic rank commensurate with experience. The Department is recognized as a global leader in nutrition research and exceptional, high-quality training. The breadth of our Department’s research spans from cell to society and moves from discovery to intervention delivery and dissemination.

We are seeking applicants who will build an independent research program and participate in collaborative research teams that align with existing strengths in the department. The Department is especially interested in applicants with expertise in aging research, that can be broadly defined as lifespan research, gerontology or geriatrics, or multidisciplinary research that can affect the aging process, extending longevity or affecting the health span. Other key areas of interest include cancer, community and behavioral interventions, and data science. These are areas of research that are critical for the advancement of nutritional science and public health at the regional, national, and global levels. Other key responsibilities and expectations will include teaching, research mentoring to undergraduate and graduate students, and participation in university and professional service activities.

Ideal candidates will have postdoctoral or faculty-level experience and have a current track record of funding that supports the potential to establish a visible, impactful, and extramurally- funded research program. Prospective candidates with current funding are preferred.
