Subject: Post Doctoral Positions
HHS all:

We are pleased to announce that a process is now ready and in place to seek applicants for four post-doctoral research positions, funded by the College. It is posting 0006976 on the OSU HR website. The initial closing date for consideration is 4/25/11.

Awards are competitive, with a major emphasis on potential for independent and innovative research. These are 12-month, fixed-term positions at full-time (1.0 FTE) for the first and second year. Reappointment is possible for two additional years, with funding at 0.75 and 0.50 FTE in years 3 and 4, respectively. FTE in years 3 and 4 can be increased to 1.0 with external funding. Successful candidates will be paired with faculty mentors for training in the development and submission of fundable research proposals, research collaboration, and publishable manuscripts. HHS Research Associate post-docs will be encouraged to seek external funding, and may serve as Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator on grant proposals. Following postdoctoral training, and based on mutual agreement of the College and the candidate, successful postdoctoral trainees will become research or considered for tenure-track faculty positions. We seek to diversify our faculty and this will be a priority in considering applicants.

The current College of HHS is in the process of becoming an accredited College of Public Health and Human Sciences. Toward that goal, we are expanding graduate programs and building capacity to substantially increase the research opportunities in areas of Public Health and Human Sciences. In addition, we are expanding interdisciplinary research programs within the Division of Health Sciences at OSU, which includes the Colleges of HHS, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine. These new Postdoctoral positions will contribute to meeting College and Divisional goals.

I would welcome the recommendations and CV's of people who may be interested, or you can directly contact qualified applicants and encourage them to apply.
