The Center for Anatomical Sciences at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, TX invites applications for two Postdoctoral Associate positions. These two positions will combine team-taught instruction of dissection-based gross anatomy to medical students with faculty-mentored research. Applicants are encouraged to contact at least two current anatomy faculty members to discuss potential research collaborations (e.g., Drs. Elizabeth Cho, Rebecca Cook, Graci Finco, Lauren Gonzales, Kate Lesciotto, Scott Maddux, Rachel Menegaz, and Bern Perchalski).

Research strengths in the Center for Anatomical Sciences include biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, forensic sciences, biomechanics/functional morphology, and histology. The Center encompasses 8,000-square-feet of anatomy laboratories that support anatomical education, research, and outreach. The Center also houses dedicated research laboratories equipped for medical imaging analysis/morphometrics, forensic anthropology, thermoregulatory studies (environmental chamber), histology, and paleontological fossil preparation. Additional information about the Center for Anatomical Sciences is available at: www.unthsc.edu/anatomicalsciences.

Applicants should email a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information of three references to the chair of the search committee, Dr. Bern Perchalski, at anatomyjob@unthsc.edu. In their cover letter, applicants should 1) identify a potential research mentor (or co-mentors) from among the anatomy faculty and 2) outline their previous coursework/teaching experience in dissection-based gross anatomy.

These positions have an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025. Applicants will ideally have a PhD or equivalent degree in hand by this date but exceptional ABD candidates will be considered. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
