Physician Scientist, Professor (Tenured), Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine

The Department of Medicine invites applicants for a Physician Scientist at the rank of Professor, with Tenure. Appointee will maintain a productive research program and is expected to provide direct patient care. Other responsibilities will include teaching and supervision of trainees and students. We are interested in applicants in the areas of vascular biology, vascular cell signaling, and vascular inflammation.

Primary appointment is with the Department of Medicine, although we anticipate that appointee will develop close interactions with other departments, divisions, centers, and institutes at the University of Arizona, with additional opportunities possible via research partnerships with the Veterans Affairs (VA) Tucson Medical Center, which serves all Southern Arizona. Faculty recruited through this effort will strengthen a collegial and internationally acclaimed research base that is making major contributions to the advancement of human health.

The College of Medicine - Tucson provides state-of-the-art programs in medical education, groundbreaking research opportunities, and leading-edge patient care, anchoring the main campus-adjacent, UA Health Sciences campus, which also includes Colleges of Public Health, Pharmacy, Nursing, and (Allied) Health Sciences. The Department of Medicine, a leader in the College of Medicine - Tucson in research funding and size, supports two residency and 15 fellowship programs, with faculty actively engaged in research mentorship via multiple highly collaborative T32-supported MD, PhD, or MD/PhD graduate programs. Building on an established clinical partnership with Banner Health, the fourth largest non-profit healthcare system in the U.S., the Department is well-positioned as the sole academic health care provider in southern Arizona to transform the health of communities that we serve by achieving excellence in clinical care, education, and research.
