Job Description
The Department of Ophthalmology at UT Southwestern Medical Center is expanding our research faculty. The department is seeking an applicant with an established track record of sustained NEI/NIH funding, as a PI on one or more R01 research grants. Candidates must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent, and are expected to maintain extramural funding that may be supplemented by a significant departmental endowment and research funds.
Ability and willingness to collaborate with other faculty members working on the pathobiology of retinal degeneration, (e.g., AMD), ocular surface diseases, corneal diseases, corneal cell biology, ocular immunology and inflammation, and ocular infectious disease is expected. Consideration may be given to applicants seeking less than a full-time schedule. A joint appointment in a basic science department may be considered. This is a tenure- track appointment. Appointment rank will be commensurate with academic accomplishments and experience.
This position is security-sensitive and subject to Texas Education Code 51.215, which authorizes UT Southwestern to obtain criminal history record information.
UT Southwestern Medical Center is committed to an educational and working environment that provides equal opportunity to all members of the University community. As an equal opportunity employer, UT Southwestern prohibits unlawful discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, disability, genetic information, citizenship status, or veteran status.
