Position Announcements
The Department of Human Physiology at the University of Oregon invites applications for two tenure track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin fall 2023.
Human Performance (Provost’s Sport and Wellness Initiative). The goal of this position is to enhance department expertise related to human athletic performance. The ideal candidate will address complex problems related to human performance using innovative and applied solutions in human subjects that will provide generalizable benefits to people across ages, abilities, and health. They will contribute to transdisciplinary collaboration in education and research efforts at the UO such as the Sport and Wellness Initiative.
Athletic or Sports Performance, Medicine, and Wellness. The goal of this position is to enhance department expertise related to athletic or sports medicine and wellness. The ideal candidate will address complex problems related to performance, injury, rehabilitation, or injury prevention using innovative and applied solutions in human subjects that will provide generalizable benefits to people across ages, abilities, and health.
Desirable areas of expertise for either position includes: Focus on health and performance in female or adolescent athletes; Sex differences in training and adaptation to stress; Nutrition in sport and wellness; Integrative physiology or neuromechanical function of athletic performance; Environmental factors in sport and wellness; Data-based approaches to enhance sport performance and wellness; Novel assessments and interventions for accelerated return to play after injury; Assessment, prevention, and rehabilitation of sports related musculoskeletal injuries; Movement dysfunction in athletes.
Both positions include a competitive start-up package, research-appropriate laboratory space, and a collaborative research environment. Additionally, excellent benefits and a safe, friendly, and inclusive work environment make the University of Oregon an outstanding location to live and work. Candidates will contribute to teaching and mentoring at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Department Summary
The Department of Human Physiology is home to undergraduate and graduate students who desire strong training in human physiology and anatomy that will prepare them for careers in medicine, allied health professions, and biomedical research. The department has strengths in cardiovascular, respiratory and muscle physiology, neuroscience/motor control, cell signaling and metabolism, and biomechanics. Human Physiology has strong partnerships with university athletics, the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, and is aligned with a new Provost’s initiative on Sport and Wellness. The department is strongly committed to inclusive and evidence-based teaching practices.
Minimum Requirements
Apply at Human Performance (Sport & Wellness Initiative) or Athletic or Sports Performance, Medicine, and Wellness. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and three statements: (1) research accomplishments and plans, (2) teaching philosophy, and (3) statement focusing on your experience and plans to contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion for students, staff, and faculty from diverse backgrounds, as described below*.
Questions about the application process should be directed to John Halliwill (halliwil@uoregon.edu). To ensure consideration, please submit application materials by November 6, 2022. The position will remain open until filled. Applications are encouraged from women and members of other underrepresented groups.
*The Department of Human Physiology is dedicated to the goal of building a diverse community that is committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment. Applicants will include a statement focusing on their knowledge, experience and future plans related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates should describe their experience with successful mentoring, teaching or outreach aimed at reducing barriers for under-represented groups, and specific plans for how they could contribute to our department’s goal to create a diverse and inclusive community through current campus programs or new activities, or through national or off- campus organizations.
