The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) invites applications and nominations for the position of Chair of the Department of Physiology. We seek candidates with an outstanding record of scientific achievement, grant support, and mentoring, and must be qualified to attain the rank of professor with tenure. Dynamic leadership, communication, interpersonal skills, and keen vision are required. The Department currently consists of twenty-one full-time faculty with clusters of strength in neuroscience, ion channels, aging, and model systems http://www.physiology.uthscsa.edu. The search, however, is not limited to these research foci, and candidates with scientific interests in any area relevant to physiology (e.g. cardiovascular, muscle, renal) are encouraged to apply.

The Department of Physiology is one of seven Basic Science Departments that comprise the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS). And the GSBS is one of five component schools of the UTHSCSA. The recent hiring of two new Deans (Medical School and Graduate School), a Health Science Center administration that will focus resources to grow our research mission, and the construction of a new, cutting-edge 200,000 ft2 research building (South Texas Research Facility – STRF) makes this a wonderful opportunity for a visionary leader. UTHSCSA is a Tier One research institution located in the Northwest region of San Antonio and sits as a gateway to the picturesque Texas Hill Country. San Antonio is a vibrant, dynamic, and multicultural city with much to offer including an attractive cost-of-living. Applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, a brief statement of research interests and academic vision, and a list of four references. The deadline for submission of completed applications is September 1, 2011. Send Charles P. France, Ph.D., Chair, Search materials electronically to PhysChairSearch@uthscsa.edu or by mail to:
