Assistant/Associate Professor, Dermatology (MD, MD/PhD)(T/TE), Department of Medicine

The Department of Medicine, Division of Dermatology, invites applicants for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor, with an expected joint appointment with the Department of Immunobiology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have clinical and research experience in immunobiology of the skin and its relationship to inflammatory skin disorders. The candidate will contribute to the research and educational activities in both departments, with their primary academic clinical home in Dermatology. We anticipate that the successful candidate will devote 75-80% time to academic/research responsibilities and the remainder to clinical responsibilities. Individuals whose research advances the understanding of roles of signaling pathways in immune responses, carcinogenesis and pigmentation, interactions between immune cells and the cutaneous microenvironment, or anti-inflammatory agents are strongly encouraged to apply.

With fourteen core faculty, and nine residents, the Division of Dermatology is a comprehensive academic clinical division with established community partnerships in a wide variety of areas. Building on an established partnership with Banner Health, the fourth largest non-profit healthcare system in the U.S., the Division is well-positioned to expand its range of clinical services to include inflammatory disorders of the skin.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
