Faculty Professor Associate - Full-Time

University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA
The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's Center for Vaccine Research (CVR) is seeking applicants for a tenure-stream faculty position at an Assistant or Associate Professor level. The CVR is a departmental-level physical center that is a major hub for infection biology at the University of Pittsburgh. Our research interests span from atoms through animals, extend to human cohorts, and are aligned to understand disease and inform the development of intervention strategies. Our research infrastructure facilitates the study of a wide range of emerging infectious diseases and spans BSL-1 through BSL-3/3+. The integral Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL) is fully registered for work with select agents, including CDC/USDA overlap pathogens. This extensive facility can house a wide range of animal species and is furnished with state-of-the-art equipment. Recently, the laboratory infrastructure has been fully upgraded. Preference will be given to applicants who work on the basic biology and evolutionary trajectories of emerging pathogens, use and develop novel animal models of human disease, design or develop novel prophylactic or therapeutic interventions, develop next-generation vaccine strategies, or seek to advance our understanding of pathogen-host interactions using creative approaches. General microbiologists are encouraged to apply.

Requirements include a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree and postgraduate training. Applicants should have considerable experience in the fields of Microbiology and/or Immunology. Assistant Professor applicants should demonstrate a strong publication record and 1-5 years of experience. Associate Professor applicants are expected to have a track record of independent publications and extramural funding, as well as 6-10 years of experience.

The department of primary faculty appointment will be determined based on the incumbent's qualifications and interests.

Qualified candidates should apply through the Talent Center at this link: join.pitt.edu to requisition number 24005134. Please include your cover letter, curriculum vitae, a 3-page summary of your research plans, and the names and contact information for three letters of recommendation.

Required application materials: A cover letter, academic curriculum vitae, a three-page research plan (excluding references), and a short paragraph describing how your scientific interests interleave and could enhance the ongoing research programs in CVR. Please include the names and contact information for three letters of recommendation.

We plan to have a symposia where shortlisted applicants will present seminars and meet faculty, staff, and trainees from CVR. Applicants are requested to hold January 14, 2026, and January 28, 2026, in their calendars for a potential visit to Pittsburgh and factor in the necessary travel time on either side these days.

The University of Pittsburgh is committed to championing all aspects of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within our community. This commitment is a fundamental value of the University and is crucial in helping us advance our mission, which includes attracting and retaining diverse workforces. We will continue to create and maintain an environment that allows individuals to discover, belong, contribute, and grow while honoring the experiences, perspectives, and unique identities of all.
