The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy PACE division invites applications for a 12-month fixed-term, open rank faculty position (with a primary teaching focus) based on our Asheville, North Carolina campus.

The School is committed to maintaining the highest quality education. To do so, we must ensure that we continue to recruit the best and brightest teaching faculty to enhance and sustain our program.
