"Tenure Track Faculty, Rank DOQ"

The Department of Human Genetics at the University of Utah is launching a multi-year recruiting initiative targeting multiple tenure-track positions. We seek applications for tenure-track faculty positions at any rank and value creative scientists that bring innovative techniques, perspectives and questions. We seek candidates whose research programs expand our department's diverse strengths in disease, developmental, evolutionary, and computational genetics, and researchers bringing exciting questions and approaches from any area of genetics using any experimental system (for example, model organisms) are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Department of Human Genetics is a vibrant and growing research community. We value mentorship and are committed to fostering a collaborative and nurturing community of scientists. Demonstration of a commitment to these values will be important in the selection process.

Individuals must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D., or equivalent degrees at any rank. Applicants should demonstrate excellence in research with strong potential for securing and sustaining independent extramural funding. Our department and institution offer excellent facilities and resources. Successful candidates will receive a competitive salary, generous startup package, active faculty mentoring, and a research environment that fosters growth and excellence.

For full consideration, applications should be received by November 15th, 2024. Only electronic applications will be accepted, and should include:

• Cover letter addressing research interests and potential fit with our department
• Curriculum vitae with an explicit section on outreach activities.
