As such, the Chair will value individuals with multidimensional diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives that contribute to the cognitive diversity and energetic culture that enriches our organization. The Department Chair will emphasize building, leading, growing, and connecting the research and clinical enterprises, ultimately fostering an environment that promotes academic productivity, and national prominence, improving outcomes, and bringing national distinction to the enterprise. The Chair will recognize the value of contributions from and the needs of faculty members across the Department and will recognize the importance of creating an environment where diverse points of view are solicited and encouraged. The PSCOM is deeply committed to ensuring that the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology is recognized among the best in the nation and has set the table for its next Chair to successfully lead the Department in that direction.

Responsibilities:
All applicants for academic positions will be submitted through Penn State's Workday recruitment module, where applicants will be asked to respond affirmatively to a question that indicates that they understand the text below:
The following paragraph applies to you in the event you are a finalist for a tenure-line position and are seeking tenure immediately upon appointment. Prior to your final on-campus (in-person or virtual) interview, it is your responsibility to submit a signed authorization and disclosure form to the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs to disclose any pending investigations of your conduct (i.e., research/sexual misconduct/other) or investigations of your conduct that resulted in a finding of misconduct. Because not all pending investigations or findings of misconduct as a result of an investigation preclude extending an offer of employment, Penn State will contact your current/prior institution to determine whether the investigation raises concerns about your suitability for the position. If the University becomes aware of any past finding of misconduct or pending investigations that were not disclosed, this will be treated as a serious omission and the University reserves the right to rescind your offer or terminate employment. The authorization and disclosure form is on the website of the Office of the Vice Provost for Affairs (see https://vpfa.psu.edu/disclosure-of-misconduct/). By typing your name below, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the statement above.
Employment will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusive excellence that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity, and engage all individuals to help them thrive.
