The Howard University College of Dentistry (HUCD), in our nation’s capital, is seeking applicants for both non-tenure track and tenure track full-time faculty positions and part-time adjunct faculty positions within the Department of Pediatric Dentistry. 

Applicants for faculty positions in the College of Dentistry must hold DDS/DMD degree from a Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA)-accredited institution, and specialists must hold a dental specialty certificate from a CODA-accredited advanced dental education program. Current active DC dental licensure or eligibility for full, unrestricted licensure in DC is required. Specialist candidates must be board-eligible in their field; board certification is desirable but not required.

Candidates with an established record as a dental educator and/or with a current faculty position and who has demonstrated potential for teaching excellence and quality scholarly production are preferred, but all qualified applicants will be considered. 

Faculty responsibilities and activities may include didactic, simulation laboratory (where applicable), and clinical teaching to predoctoral and post-graduate students, provide direct supervision of patient care in the predoctoral and postgraduate clinics, course directorship, supervising emergency/urgent patient care needs, participating in scholarly activities including teaching innovations and/or clinical or non-clinical research. All faculty are expected to participate in calibration activities and contribute to a cohesive and consistent execution of student instruction and development of clinical competency. Additional duties essential to the operations and strategic goals of the College may be assigned, as needed. There will also be an opportunity for faculty clinical practice in an intramural clinic operated by the dental school.
