The University of Louisville School of Nursing (SON) is growing and seeks to hire a junior- to senior-level tenure eligible or tenure track research faculty with a focused research program. Building the School of Nursing research portfolio is instrumental to the continued growth of our PhD program and to increase funding and data-based peer-reviewed publications, and to provide research mentoring for students interested in new research areas. The faculty member hired for this position is expected to aggressively seek research funding from sources such as NIH, national foundations, and other high-profile research funding sources. Competitive salary, start-up funds, and research support services will be provided. In addition to internal mentoring, external mentor funds are available for junior faculty members. As the UofL School of Nursing expands we are also endeavoring to expand our research enterprise, thus we are not limiting the tenure-track/tenured positions to specific research trajectories.
