The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for a full-time,
academic year, tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences.
We seek an outstanding scientist with research experience in the areas of bone or cartilage biology
as they relate to musculoskeletal disease or regenerative medicine. The successful candidate will
be expected to establish and maintain an energetic, well-funded research program, engage in
interdisciplinary and collaborative research, and participate in training of professional and graduate
students which will include teaching of systemic physiology or microanatomy within the professional
veterinary curriculum.
This position offers unique opportunities for collaboration with ongoing musculoskeletal research
programs at Purdue in Basic Medical Sciences, Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Biomedical and
Mechanical Engineering, and Nutrition Science. Purdue faculty have outstanding opportunities for
interdisciplinary collaboration through cross-campus research centers such as the NCI supported
Center for Cancer Research and Discovery Park. The Indiana CTSI and other programs provide
ample opportunity for collaboration with musculoskeletal biologists engaged in orthopedic research
at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. Faculty at Purdue have a long history
of collaboration with Indiana-based biomedical device, orthopedic, and pharmaceutical industries
and the candidate will have the opportunity to work with established research programs with links to
those industries.
Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in biology or related field and have demonstrated excellence in
both research and education. Candidates who also possess an additional medical degree (e.g.,
D.V.M., V.M.D., or M.D.) are preferred.
Application material should include a letter of intent, complete CV, a 2-3 page description of current
and future research goals, and the names and contact information for three references.
Review of applications will begin December 15, 2014 and continue until the position is filled.
The starting date for the position is negotiable. A background check is required for employment in
this position. Applications should be submitted by email to: Gloria Powell (glpowell@purdue.edu).
Requests for more information should be sent to Dr. Susan Mendrysa, (mendrysa@purdue.edu),
College of Veterinary Medicine, Purdue University, 625 Harrison Street, West Lafayette, IN

The College of Veterinary Medicine at Purdue University values, nurtures, and respects all members
of its community and ensures an environment of inclusive excellence where all students, faculty, and
staff are inspired and empowered to achieve their full potential. Purdue University is an equal
opportunity/equal access/affirmative action employer fully committed to achieving a diverse work force.
