Faculty Positions

The University of Kentucky has initiated a program to attract faculty with either M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees to tenure track positions for individuals wishing to pursue independent scientific careers. These Assistant Professor level appointments are supported by a special Dean’s fund. Although any clinical specialty within the Department of Medicine will be considered, preferred candidates should have a research background in the atherosclerosis/vascular biology area. The successful candidate will benefit from interactions with the large group of productive faculty at the University of Kentucky that are in this research area and will have a supportive mentoring program to aid in their development. Attractive start-up packages will be offered, that will include a strong emphasis on protected time.

Interested individuals should submit a curriculum vitae, examples of publications, and a future research plan to:

Alan Daugherty, Ph.D., D.Sc.
Associate Chair for Physician Scientist Training
Professor of Medicine & Physiology
Gill Foundation Chair in Preventive Cardiology
C.T. Wethington Building, Rm 521
Lexington, KY 40536-0200

Informal inquires may be directed to Dr. Daugherty either by e-mail (alan.daugherty@uky.edu) or telephone (859-323-4933 x 81390).
