About the Department and Center

The Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences, in partnership with the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center at the University of Kentucky, is seeking distinguished faculty candidates for tenure-eligible or tenured positions. This search is strategically aligned with the campus-wide priorities of the Office of the Vice President for Research, specifically focusing on health disparities and the Healthy Kentucky initiative.

The Role and Mission

We are looking for investigators with a robust extramurally funded research program, or for early-career candidates, those demonstrating high promise in securing such funding. The ideal candidates will lead research broadly related to diabetes and obesity, with a specific interest in complications such as cardiovascular disease, dysregulation of central and peripheral neurometabolism, liver disease, inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation in cancer. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a vibrant academic community dedicated to advancing translational and basic science in metabolic health.
