More than 3,000 students are enrolled at one of the four major UTHSC campuses – Memphis (main campus), Knoxville, Chattanooga or Nashville.About this role
The Department of Physiology at UTHSC is recruiting an Associate Professor to lead an independent research program in cardiovascular and renal physiology while contributing to the department's recent ranking among the top ten physiology departments in North America for research funding. You would be expected to secure national funding, maintain a vigorous research program, and take advantage of collaborative opportunities across cardiology, nephrology, and local hospital systems. The position includes a competitive start-up package to establish your lab.
Teaching responsibilities span medical, dental, and graduate students, alongside service contributions to the university and community. This is a tenure-track role suited to candidates with a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree and a demonstrated track record of research accomplishments and external funding. Your research should ideally complement existing departmental strengths in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, ion channel physiology, or mitochondrial biology, though the department welcomes applications from nationally-recognized researchers in the broader cardiovascular and renal field.
