    PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences Last modified July 13, 2010 The current Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with specialization in Pharmacy graduate program is offered by the Department of Pharmaceutics. The departmental faculty has decided to use 'track' method for accommodating the diversityy of the Department's graduate population, its multi- and interdisciplinary. The focus of the Department of Pharmaceutics, whiich houses the Center for Drug Discovery, differs sufficiently from that of other departments as to justify a specialization. The uniqueness of the department is evident in present reesearch activities which encompass basic, applied and clinical investigations in the areas of Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Drug Delivery, and Drug Discovery. Specifically, Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, encompasses the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs in animals and humans, and the relationship between drug concentration and effect; Pharmaceuutical Biotechnology includes molecular biology, immunology, and aspects of the delivery off peptide and protein drugs; Pharmaceutical Analysis involves the application of spectroscopy, chromatography, extraction, electrophoresis, immunoassays, and radioisotope assays to drug determination; Drug Delivery includes physical, biological and chemical approaches to drug delivery, formulation and evaluation of dosage forms; and Drug Discovery is associated with receptor-oriented/retrometabolic drug design, computer assisted drug design, chemical/physical approaches to controlled drug delivery, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic correlation approach to improved therapeutic index. 1 Objectives of the Ph.D. Program Faculty Adjunct Faculty Governance Recruitment of Students Admission Procedures Financial Assistance Selection of Discipline for Degree and Major Professor Supervisory Committee Curriculum Qualifying Examination Final Examination Specific Requirements for the Master of Science in Pharmacy Degree The objectives of the Ph.D.

  • Guidance for Instructional Faculty Appointments
    GUIDANCE FOR INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY APPOINTMENTS A. Applicability This guidance applies to any faculty member who has a fixed-term contract with teaching as the primary responsibility. A faculty member with such an appointment is called an "instructional faculty member" in this document. This guidance in this document does not apply to: (1) a person whose appointment is tenured or tenure-eligible; (2) an academic professional; (3) anyone with a fixed-term contract that contains the word "research", " practice", or "visiting" in the position title. This guidance is consistent with the Conditions of Faculty Service, ACD 501/ABOR·6-201. B. Common expectations and requirements for instructional faculty members Instructional faculty appointments are offered based on the needs of the academic units and colleges. Anyone hired as an instructional faculty member must be appropriately qualified for the role and rank of the appointment. In particular, the North Central Association's Higher Learning Commission (which accredits ASU's academic programs) requires that a person hired for an instructional faculty appointment must possess an academic degree (1) relevant to what the person will be teaching AND (2) at least one level above the level of the courses the person teaches. Exceptions to the degree requirement are possible if the person surmounts a minimum threshold of experience in lieu of a degree (established in advance of hire) OR the person possesses the terminal degree in the discipline and is teaching graduate courses in that discipline. For the ranked categories of instructional faculty appointments, the offered rank must be based on unit-, college-, and Provost- approved criteria.

  • Author, Activist, Regent Emeritus Josie Johnson to Join Us
    SEPTEMBER 2020 Author, activist, Regent Emeritus Josie Johnson to join us “in conversation” Josie Johnson, EdD, chronicles her life as a civil rights fighter in her memoir, Hope in the Struggle, published by University of Minnesota Press in 2019. Much of her “gracious fighting” for civil rights (so characterized by Vice President Walter Mondale, among others) occurred in Minnesota. Her contributions are immeasurable. Civil rights icon Vernon Jordan has called her “the Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman of our time.” UMRA looks forward to welcoming Dr. Johnson and to being “in conversation” with her, as she likes to say, for our September 29 Forum at 12 noon via Zoom, to learn about her life, her legacy, and her hopes for the future of the civil rights struggle. Laura Bloomberg, dean of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, will introduce Dr. Johnson for this hour-long event to be held via Zoom webinar. In the 1960s, Johnson worked as a professional lobbyist for the passage of bills con- cerning discrimination in housing and employment. She served as acting director of the Minneapolis Urban League and was a Minneapolis mayoral aide during the African American unrest and challenges in 1968. Her memoir tells of the ways that white supremacy has impacted Black people in Minnesota. Systemic racial bias is clearly addressed. She is hopeful and a positive, inspiring leader. An important voice for the University Known to many UMRA members as “Josie,” she has had a long relationship with the University. She worked with other Black activists to create the Afro-American Studies Department (now the Department of African American & African Studies) and was one of its first faculty members.

  • Guidelines for Clinical Faculty Track 1
    Section B: Guidelines for Clinical Faculty Track 1. Introduction An important part of the mission of the clinical faculty at the TAMU COM is to serve the needs of society by furthering the training of students, residents, and fellows who will both practice clinical medicine and who will advance healthcare delivery and the science that underpins it. The practice of medicine is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, maintenance of health, and management of chronic conditions with all of these directed at improving the well-being of the individual and the population. The role of the clinical track faculty is primarily in the areas of clinical education (didactic and experiential), clinical practice, and service. Clinical faculty will typically work in healthcare settings. Key to training world class physicians to serve the needs of the community and the State is to have a teaching and training faculty with expertise in clinical practice; it requires individuals who will bring to the learners evidence–based practical skills and knowledge as well as insights based on clinical experience. The College of Medicine is seeking to establish a critical mass of individuals who are dedicated to state-of-the-art clinical practice and to educating the next generation of clinicians. While these individuals may not be charged with the significant research productivity that tenure track faculty have, and thus could dedicate themselves fully to practice and teaching/training learners, some of these individuals may have significant research activity in addition to their clinical and teaching obligations. Both the teaching and patient care activities must fulfill the needs of the College and the Department first, and secondly the individual needs or desires of the specific clinical track faculty member.

  • Conditions of Service for Academic Staff Working in Higher Education
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Planning policy There is no top level planning policy for academic staff supply and demand. Entry to the profession All higher education institutions are responsible for recruiting their own staff. According to the ministerial order on job vacancies in the state, the following information must be included in all job vacancies: Job title Place of employment Working time Collective agreement basis Salary Recipient of applications Application deadline Universities have to follow additional regulations according to the ministerial order on employment of academic staff at universities including: Job vacancies on senior lecturer and professor level must be advertised nationally and internationally. Assessment committees must assess the candidates’ qualifications. Job vacancies are to be readvertised if there is not enough qualified applicants. The university rector can offer vacancies on senior lecturer and professor level without advertising the vacancy if there is a particularly qualified candidate. Professional status Academic staff is employed on collective agreement terms. Employment contracts can be either fixed-term or indefinite depending on the job title. Previously, it was quite common that academic staff was employed as civil servants. However, the civil servant status is being phased out, which means today only a very limited number of academic staff maintain civil servant status. Salaries Academic staff is employed according to the collective agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (Akademikerne). The payment system consists of a basic salary and an allowance. Employees are placed in the basic salary system according to their education and length of service.

  • Chapter 4. Academic Responsibilities and Ranks
    Handbook of Academic Administration July 2015 Chapter 4. Academic Responsibilities and Ranks 4.1. Full-Time Appointments An appointment to the regular faculty of Brown University, unless otherwise stated, is considered a full-time appointment. Although there is normally not a set number of hours or days that a faculty member must be present on campus, except to meet teaching responsibilities, an appointment as a full-time faculty member at Brown carries primary professional responsibility to the University, to its educational mission, and to its students, whether or not the faculty member is on campus or is spending time away from the University. This includes during sabbatical leave or other types of leaves of absence, paid or unpaid. Full-time, regular faculty members are therefore not permitted to hold regular (tenured or tenure-track) positions elsewhere, except under special circumstances and only with the prior written permission of the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences, or the Dean of Public Health (hereafter referred to in this chapter as the “appropriate Dean”). Full-time regular faculty members with tenure or in tenure track positions are considered twelve month employees of the University. A faculty member’s appointment is ordinarily for an academic year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 each year. Appointments of Lecturers and Senior Lecturers and other non-tenurable appointments shall also be considered twelve month appointments unless specifically exempted from this policy and/or as may be included in the appointment letter. Academic year salaries are normally for work performed over a period of 9, 10, or 12 months.
