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.

Vaccination Statement

After careful consideration of COVID-19 virus trends and the overwhelming evidence of COVID-19 vaccine safety and effectiveness, the School of Medicine, along with MU Health Care, the Sinclair School of Nursing and the School of Health Professions, recently announced the decision to require COVID-19 vaccinations by Oct. 1, 2021, for all employees, unless granted a medical or religious exemption.

All new hires will be required to submit proof of vaccination prior to your start date. If you would like to request a medical or religious exemption, you must do so upon acceptance of employment so our team has time to review prior to your scheduled start date. You will not be allowed to begin work until you have submitted proof of vaccination or received an approved medical or religious exemption.

Thank you for helping us to create the safest environment possible for our colleagues, students and our patients by protecting yourself and others through COVID-19 vaccination.
