Position Summary: Directorship responsibilities include development, adaptation and successful delivery of the newly developed CU Medical School curriculum to the CSU branch campus with elements of innovative content delivery. Virtual reality learning, dissection, and prosection logistics are desired skills for the successful candidate. Experience spanning gross anatomy and neuroanatomy is essential with histology and embryology experience considered desired but not essential.

• Does anyone know if this posting is rigged? There is currently a Visiting AP there who fits this description.
  • I don't know for sure but given the posting date is incredibly close to the closing date I am inclined to believe it will probably go to that visiting AP eventually.
  • I thought the same thing when I looked at the faculty listings on their site.
  • While I also thought that, note that the date is actually just when REVIEW BEGINS, not when apps are closed. So it may just be that they are trying to move quickly with this later search. Regardless, it could go to the VAP &/or have 100+ applicants due to the lack of jobs.
    
• Virtual interview requested (11/16/20)
  • Well, that was quick. Thanks for the update, since god knows I won't be formally rejected for months and it will be radio silence until then.
    

• Virtual job talk requested (11/21/20)
