Department of Pathology & Anatomical Sciences

Forensic Pathologist (NTT)

The Department of Pathology & Anatomical Sciences of the University of Missouri is seeking an additional forensic pathologist/autopsy pathologist to join the faculty. This position is for a non-tenure track clinical track.

The Department operates the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Boone and Callaway Counties by contract with those counties, contracts for ME services with at least two other counties and the State Correctional Facilities system, and provides forensic autopsy services to Coroners of other counties on a case-by-case basis. Most years, the office covers between 30 and 50 counties, clustered mostly in the center of the state but some extending south, west, east, and north to the borders of St Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. The Office has annually performed more than 500 autopsies for a considerable number of years.

The new pathologist will join three other experienced forensic pathologists to divide this workload as well as share coverage of up to about 70 hospital autopsies per year. This sharing of workload will permit time for research, teaching, publications, and other scholarly work, including collaborations with members of other departments and other schools on the larger MU campus.

The Department has an ACGME-accredited 12-person residency and residents, and the 3 to 4 Post-Sophomore Fellows are extensively involved in the hospital autopsy service and the forensic service.

Qualifications:

• Completed training in Anatomic Pathology and a Forensic Pathology Fellowship.
• Board certification in at least AP and FP, or eligibility for such certification.
• Training in Clinical Pathology is preferable but not required.
