Job description
Physician-Scientist, Assistant/Associate Professor/Full Professor, Dermatology (T/TE)
The Departments of Dermatology and Immunobiology invite applications for a jointly appointed tenure-track physician-scientist faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. The successful applicant will also be an associate member of the University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center. Academic rank, start-up package, and compensation, which includes a generous fringe benefits package are dependent upon qualifications. We are particularly interested in candidates who have research experience in innate and adaptive immunology applicable to a broad range of cutaneous biology. Applicants with an interest in skin cancer are strongly encouraged to apply.
The Department of Dermatology is growing rapidly following its recent transition from Division to Department status. This change reflects an institutional commitment to expanding dermatologic science, education, and innovation. With 10 core faculty and 9 residents, the department integrates clinical excellence with emerging research strengths in inflammatory skin diseases, cutaneous oncology, and translational imaging, supported by established community and institutional partnerships. This positions the department to accelerate its scientific contributions through multidisciplinary collaboration and to advance discovery in skin-immune interactions and skin cancer biology.
The Department of Immunobiology is home to a diverse group of scientists, educators, and trainees dedicated to understanding how immune and microbial processes influence health and disease. Faculty research spans from fundamental basic research to translational applications, with strengths in immune processes as well as host-microbial and immune-cancer interactions. The department has strong connections across campus and the state, creating opportunities for collaboration with the Cancer Center, BIO5 Institute, Valley Fever Center, and programs in precision health, Indigenous health, and environmental sciences. With robust graduate and medical educational programs and participation in undergraduate programs, the department is committed to training the next generation of scientists, physicians, and leaders in the life sciences.
Founded in 1976, the University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) is one of just 57 NCI-Designed Comprehensive Cancer Centers; a distinction that places it among the celebrated top tier of cancer centers across the country. Entering an exciting new era of strategic growth and active transformation under the helm of Dan Theodorescu, MD, PhD, the UACC is poised for unparalleled success across all its missions.
The University of Arizona Skin Cancer Institute (SCI) is a national leader in skin cancer research, bringing together innovative science, clinical care, and community engagement to advance prevention, early detection, and treatment. A central strength of SCI is its Patient Registry, Imaging Database, and Tissue Bank (PRIT), an integrated resource that links detailed clinical and demographic data with high-resolution dermatologic imaging and well-annotated biospecimens. This comprehensive skin cancer data ecosystem enables investigators to connect patient characteristics directly to tissue- and image-based analyses, accelerating both basic discovery and translational research. SCI investigators are embedded within the UACC, collaborating across disciplines to develop and test new diagnostic technologies, biomarkers, and preventive or therapeutic strategies. This unique infrastructure enables research that spans from mechanistic laboratory science to prospective clinical studies and real-world patient outcomes, providing an exceptional platform for innovation and career development in skin cancer research.
