The Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences at The University of Vermont seeks a faculty member in nutrition sciences. This 9-month tenure-track position involves undergraduate/graduate teaching and research related to but not limited to nutrition and chronic diseases (including cancer, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders); epidemiology; nutrition, community, and health disparities; biochemical and molecular nutrition. The effective date of the position is 8/23/2023.
The candidate must have an earned doctoral degree (e.g., Ph.D., Dr.P.H., Sc.D.) in a relevant field such as nutrition, public health, medicine, or epidemiology at the time of appointment. Consideration will also be given to applicants holding clinical doctoral degrees (e.g., M.D.).
The successful applicant will be expected to develop an independent research program in nutrition (e.g., nutritional oncology, nutrition and aging, nutritional epidemiology, community nutrition, nutritional physiology, nutritional biochemistry, and metabolism) that leads to publication in peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly venues and to seek extramural funding for that research. Research topics are open; desired focus includes translational research that can help inform policy and practice and elements of scholarship that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach in the following undergraduate NFS concentration tracks: Dietetics; Nutrition, Sustainability and Society. Potential teaching topics may include but are not limited to Introduction to Nutrition, Nutritional Biochemistry, Community Nutrition, Nutritional Epidemiology, as well as Nutrition and Metabolism. Further, candidates will advise undergraduates, supervise graduate students in Nutrition and Food Sciences and our allied Food Systems graduate programs, and support the Graduate Coordinated Program in Dietetics.
Finally, candidates are expected to make professional contributions and engage in service. The successful candidate will demonstrate a solid commitment to accessibility, inclusiveness, and academic excellence, as reflected in the tenets of
Our Common Ground. The Department is keenly interested in diversifying its faculty and encourages applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds.
There are multiple opportunities for collaborative, team-based research activities with fellow scholars across our vibrant University. Some examples are the UVM Cancer Center, the Osher Center for Integrative Health, the Gund Institute for the Environment, the UVM/USDA Food Systems Research Center, and the Biomedical Statistics Research Core. In addition to our graduate programs, NFS faculty also interact with graduate students associated with Food Systems, Animal Biosciences, Cellular, Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, and Complex Systems.
Applications must be submitted online at
https://www.uvmjobs.com. Applicants must submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and a statement of interest. This statement of interest must include three sections: (1) the candidate’s research interests and vision, (2) their teaching philosophy, and (3) their professional effort towards and commitment to the tenets of UVM’s
Our Common Ground (with particular attention to the pursuit of equity, inclusion, and justice).
Inquiries may be addressed to Dr. Farryl Bertmann, Search Committee Chair (fbertman@uvm.edu). Review of applications will begin
