New Position to Begin When filled

The University of Utah College of Nursing (CON) seeks research scientists to serve as faculty members focused on the development of their own extramurally funded research program, and to participate in collaborative team science with other CON faculty, post‑doctoral trainees, and students. This is a full‑time career‑line (Research Track) faculty position. Academic rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications. Progress toward extramural funding is an expectation for long‑term retention and advancement in rank.

The CON seeks an individual with a growing program of research; with expertise in research design, methodology, and analysis; with team science skills to join CON research programs; and dedication to developing a sustained program of extramurally funded research. As a member of the Emma Eccles Jones Nursing Research Center, responsibilities may also include limited classroom and/or online didactic teaching, supervision of students, and consultation.

Other faculty expectations include University, local, regional, and/or national professional activities/service.

Candidates must have an earned research doctorate and post‑doctoral training in nursing or a related field. Candidates should have early evidence of scholarly publications in refereed journals and demonstrated research focus and trajectory for extramural funding. Teaching and course development experience is desirable but not required. The ability to work effectively with faculty and students is essential. The College of Nursing strongly encourages applications from candidates from all populations, including those who have been underrepresented and candidates with nontraditional backgrounds.

The CON is an integral part of University of Utah Health.
