The Department’s research and teaching interests include exposure to environmental stressors and environmental toxicology, climate change and its impacts on human health, nutrition, and regulatory science. The Department houses an Organ-on-Chip facility that allows faculty to conduct the cutting-edge biomedical and bioengineering research and is home to the Center for Dietary Supplements Research. Four other departments within the COPH and three affiliated centers provide ample opportunities for the development of fruitful collaborative efforts. UAMS also serves as a home for the Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy, Health Professions, and Nursing as well as the Winthrop P.

Candidates with expertise in the areas of biomedical engineering, climate change, nutrition, and regulatory science will be given preferences; however, candidates with documented expertise in other areas of environmental health will be given consideration as well. Evidence of existing funding is desired.

Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
