The Department of Prosthodontics in the College of Dentistry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center is seeking applicants for a full-time, non-tenure track Assistant/Associate/Full Professor position.
Responsibilities primarily include predoctoral education in all aspects of prosthodontics, including clinical and didactic instruction in occlusion, fixed prosthodontics, removable prosthodontics, and implant prosthodontics. Additional duties include participating in research and service activities. Clinical care opportunities exist in the Faculty Dental Practice but are optional.
This position requires the supervision of predoctoral dental students and based on experience, postdoctoral dental students in the Department of Prosthodontics.
While teaching is the primary duty, faculty members are expected to engage in research and contribute to the academic community through service duties, such as participating in departmental committees, mentoring students and junior faculty, and collaborating with colleagues on interdisciplinary projects. Active involvement in community outreach programs and professional organizations is also encouraged to enhance the college's impact and reputation.
