Reference Number: 4428

Academic Ranks: Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor

Background: The Medical College of Georgia (MCG) and the University of Georgia (UGA) are embarking on a bold plan to address the physician workforce issues of the state of Georgia, the creation of a new four-year campus, located near  the UGA campus, and supported by the MCG under its LCME accreditation. This new MCG/UGA Medical Partnership Campus, scheduled to matriculate its first class in 2010, will initially reside in the Interim Medical Partnership building next to the UGA campus in Athens, Georgia. In 2012, the program is expected to move just a few miles from the UGA campus, to the state-of-the-art facilities of the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, after it closes as a military base.

General Description: The MCG/UGA Medical Partnership Campus seeks experienced basic science educators in Anatomy (1) with evidence of a high level of professional achievement in medical education, to teach first- and second-year medical students at the Athens campus. These new faculty will join a cadre of enthusiastic and innovative educators already hired to develop, implement, and teach an integrated, systems-based curriculum that combines science and clinical aspects in a community-based setting. We seek excellent teachers who will share our excitement in building a new, innovative educational program. Basic science faculty will have joint appointments in the MCG Basic Medical Sciences department and in an appropriate University of Georgia department.

Minimum Qualifications: Candidates must have a doctoral level degree in their discipline, prior teaching experience in a medical or biomedical educational program, and excellent communication skills. Evidence of teaching excellence is essential, as is experience with case-based and active learning methods in both small group and large group settings. Faculty with active current research programs are encouraged to apply, although current research activity is not a prerequisite. Academic rank and salary will be commensurate with experience.

Application Deadline: Until filled.
