The Hampton University Department of Pharmacy Practice invites applications for a highly motivated individual to serve as a part of the proposed Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program for a twelve-month, full-time, non-tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor or higher.

Description of the School:

Founded in 1868, Hampton University is a leading historically black university (HBCU) located on the Virginia Peninsula in the City of Hampton. It is a privately endowed, co-educational, nonsectarian institution. It is located on the east coast of Virginia in the picturesque Hampton Roads area that includes the cities of Hampton, Norfolk, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Newport News.

Hampton University School of Pharmacy will establish a new Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree program and is currently seeking approval of Pre-Candidate Status from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). If approved (anticipated approval date of January 2024), the School of Pharmacy will matriculate its first cohort of students seeking the new PharmD degree in Fall 2024. Our mission is to produce a cadre of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists who have a keen awareness and understanding of the health inequities encountered by underserved and vulnerable populations. Our vision is to be a leader in pharmacy education, scientific discovery, and scholarship that prepares graduates to address the healthcare needs of medically underserved and diverse populations. The School currently offers the Bachelors of Science in Pharmaceutical Science degree, along with minors in Pharmaceutical Science, Environmental Health Science, and Public Health.

Hampton University seeks to motivate and prepare students to achieve at the highest academic level. Students develop and demonstrate a sense of character within themselves and in their relationship with others. Students are taught to embrace those personal values, which make them responsive to the social, economic and more problems affecting our society. The administrators, faculty, staff and students continually strive to contribute to positive health outcomes in our community by providing perspectives based on a range of ideas, practices and services. The new PharmD program will embody these values and principles to ensure that our graduates are responsible and capable stewards of their patients and the profession.
