THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center is a statewide flagship, public, academic health institution in Tennessee. Founded in 1911, the mission of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center is to improve the health and well-being of Tennesseans and the global community by fostering collaborative education, research, scientific discovery, clinical care, and public service. Employing more than 4,600 people on its faculty, staff, and not-for-profit corporation faculty practice groups, and with more than 3,200 students across the state, UT Health Science Center contributes $4 billion to the economy of Tennessee.
Part of the University of Tennessee System, the Health Science Center is headquartered in Memphis and includes all six of UT’s doctoral-degree-granting health science colleges -- Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Graduate Health Sciences, and Health Professions. UT Health Science Center spans the state with its four major, regional clinical health science locations in Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville, as well as more than 100 clinical education sites across Tennessee. UT Health Science Center is the largest educator of health care professionals in the state and operates the state’s largest residency and fellowship advanced training programs.
Located in West Tennessee on the banks of the Mississippi River, Memphis is the second-largest city in the state and among the largest cities in the Southeast. The Greater Memphis metropolitan area has more than 1.3 million residents, and the city ranks among those with the lowest cost of living in the country. It is home to a vibrant restaurant scene, a revitalized Downtown, the Midtown Arts District, many scenic neighborhoods, an active medical district, and a burgeoning airport in the midst of a $214 million modernization.
Memphis boasts attractions, including Elvis Presley’s Graceland, the Memphis Grizzlies, historic Beale Street, the National Civil Rights Museum, the second-largest urban county park in the United States, and the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.
About this role
The Hamilton Eye Institute at UT Health Science Center is seeking an Assistant Professor to join its Department of Ophthalmology in Memphis.

This is a full-time, in-office position within one of the Southeast's major academic medical centers.
You'll need a terminal degree—PhD, MD, or equivalent—and a genuine commitment to all three pillars of academic medicine. The role sits within UT Health Science Center's substantial infrastructure: a statewide system that trains over 3,200 health science students and operates Tennessee's largest residency and fellowship programs. You would be part of a 4,600-person institution headquartered in Memphis with clinical sites across the state, giving you access to diverse patient populations and collaborative research opportunities.
Memphis itself offers a lower cost of living than many comparable cities, a growing medical district, and established cultural and recreational amenities. To apply, send your CV and cover letter to Matthew Wilson, MD, Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology, at mwilson5@uthsc.edu.
