Teaching formats include large-group lectures, small group active learning, and cadaveric dissection laboratory sessions. Experience with clinical case-based, team-based, and self-directed active learning pedagogy is preferred. Familiarity with three-dimensional anatomy software programs and virtual platforms will be an asset. The successful applicant will participate in scholarship and departmental, university, and external service activities to enhance their career development as a full faculty member. Research in CSA encompasses undergraduate medical education best practices and innovative tools, anatomic variations, cancer biology, aging, neuroscience, and stem cell biology.
