The Department of Dermatology, in partnership with the University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) and UACC Skin Cancer Institute (SCI) seeks a tenure‑track Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor with a strong research focus in skin cancer. Successful candidates will contribute to the research, educational, and leadership activities in the Department of Dermatology, UACC, and SCI, with their primary academic home in Dermatology.

We are particularly interested in applicants whose research advances the understanding of cutaneous oncology, including signaling pathways, immune responses, carcinogenesis and pigmentation, and interactions between immune cells and the cutaneous microenvironment. Applicants must have postdoctoral experience and a doctoral degree. The successful applicant is expected to obtain extramural funding for their research program and participate in graduate student mentoring and graduate student teaching.

They are also expected to interact with other faculty on larger collaborative scientific projects.

The Department of Dermatology is growing rapidly following its recent transition to full Department status. This change reflects an institutional commitment to expanding dermatologic science, education, and innovation. With 14 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.

Specifically, to skin cancer, there is a strong record of basic‑translational/clinical research in melanoma and NMSC.

The Dermatology Department is an integral component of the UACC Skin Cancer Institute (SCI), a national leader in skin cancer research, bringing together innovative science, clinical care, and community engagement to advance prevention, early detection, and treatment. The department benefits from exceptional resources at the University, College, and UACC, including the SCI Patient Registry, Imaging Database, and Tissue Bank (PRIT), an integrated resource that 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 enable 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.

Outstanding U of A benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; U of A/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to U of A recreation and cultural activities; and more!
