Nephrology Investigator

The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah is seeking applications for tenure-line faculty at all levels (Assistant, Associate or full Professor, depending on experience and qualifications).

The Division, Department and University have vibrant, collaborative research communities spanning the translational spectrum. Current areas of research in the division include, but are not limited to, basic, translational, and clinical research in the areas of chronic kidney disease, genetics, dialysis, vascular access, molecular physiology, hypertension, and health equity. A new Cardio-Renal & Metabolism Center, under the direction of Nephrology and Cardiovascular Medicine faculty, was inaugurated in 2024.

Nephrology faculty hold adjunct appointments in Nutrition & Integrative Physiology, Population Health Sciences, Human Genetics, Pathology, and Biomedical Engineering. New Division faculty will be supported in seeking appointments in these or other departments based on research area, and will also have access to graduate programs through these departments.

Institutional initiatives include Diabetes & Metabolism; Immunology, Inflammation & Infectious Disease; Genomic Medicine; Digital Health; and Data Exploration and Learning for Precision Health Intelligence.

These initiatives, which many Nephrology faculty participate in, provide intellectual communities, including seminars, workshops, and scientific retreats; opportunities for collaboration; and seed grants and other research funding.

Core facilities provide access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and expert consultation, across a broad range of scientific techniques, including microscopy, flow cytometry, genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, genetic engineering, drug discovery, and others.

Minimum qualifications

MD and/or PhD, or equivalent degree, with postdoctoral research training, with strong potential for high-impact, federally funded research.

Preferred qualifications

Applicants with federally funded research programs, and, at senior levels, with national and/or international recognition, as well as applicants with high potential for collaboration within the Division, Department, or University will be prioritized, particularly those whose research synergizes with institutional priorities.

Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae; cover letter; and two-page research statement outlining current and future research projects here: https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/172648
