The NYU College of Dentistry invites applications for a full‑time, clinical non‑tenure track faculty position at the level of Clinical Assistant or Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, Radiology & Medicine. This diverse and collaborative department brings together faculty from multiple specialties in a collegial, scholarly environment dedicated to excellence in patient care, education, and research.

This faculty role is integral to advancing the College's mission of delivering exceptional, compassionate dental care to individuals with disabilities and complex medical conditions. Because expertise in special care dentistry is not widespread within general practice, faculty with advanced training and experience in caring for patients with specialized healthcare needs play a particularly valuable role within the institution.

Faculty in this role may also participate in the College of Dentistry faculty practice, providing specialized diagnostic and clinical care while contributing to the academic and educational mission of the institution.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $120,000 - $180,000. New York University considers factors such as scope of responsibilities, experience, education and training, key skills, internal equity, and market considerations when extending an offer.
