Assistant/Associate/Full Professor (T/TE)

The Department of Immunobiology invites applicants to apply for the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. We are seeking investigators whose research program aligns with a department working to understand how the immune system and/or microbes influence the continuum of healthy and diseased states across the lifespan. We will consider individuals studying areas of microbial biology (viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi), immunology (normal & aberrant function of the immune system, microbial & cancer immune defense, and related topics), and those whose programs span these disciplines. Applicants combining the above with innovative techniques/methodologies (e.g., molecular engineering), relevant cancer biology, and/or those with relevant translational elements to their program are encouraged to apply. We are looking for collegial & collaborative-minded colleagues. The candidate will be expected to participate in medical and/or graduate teaching & service at the departmental, college, and university levels. Teaching loads vary but are not expected to exceed 30 contact hours per year for research-intensive faculty.

Senior & mid-career applicants will be expected to be leaders in their areas, with innovative programs & robust extramural funding.

Junior applicants will be expected to establish new, cutting-edge programs & with the help of mentoring programs, secure extramural funding.

• Establish or continue a successful, extramurally funded research program that will advance knowledge in the broad areas of immunobiology, as defined above.
• Develop and sustain productive interactions with biomedical investigators in the department, the College of Medicine-Tucson, and the University of Arizona.
• Promote and strengthen interdisciplinary training by contributing to graduate (M.Sc./Ph.D.) and/or medical (M.D.) education.
