What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in assistant professor of medicine jobs.
- MD or DO degree with board certification or eligibility in a relevant specialty
- Completion of an ACGME-accredited residency and, where applicable, fellowship training
- Active or eligibility for state medical licensure in the hiring institution's state
- Demonstrated record of peer-reviewed publications or funded research activity

- Ability to maintain an active clinical practice as part of the faculty appointment
Tips for Your Assistant Professor of Medicine Job Search
Tailor your CV for academic medicine
Your academic CV should lead with education, board certifications, and clinical appointments before listing publications. Hiring committees at medical schools weigh your teaching philosophy statement and research output separately, so include both in distinct sections rather than combining them.
Target departments that match your subspecialty
Search by subspecialty and department name, not just job title. A cardiology-focused assistant professor role often posts under the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, so searching only 'assistant professor of medicine' will miss openings that fit your training perfectly.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists assistant professor of medicine openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Align your research agenda with the department
Before applying, review the department's current faculty research profiles and active grants. Your cover letter should name two or three faculty members whose work complements yours, showing the committee you've thought through collaboration rather than just describing your own projects in isolation.
Prepare a teaching portfolio early
Many academic medicine roles require a teaching portfolio at the application stage, not just at the interview. Compile course evaluations, syllabi you've contributed to, and a one-page teaching philosophy before you start applying so you're not scrambling when a posting asks for it immediately.
Negotiate startup funds before accepting an offer
Once you have an offer, ask the department chair about protected research time, lab startup funds, and clinical FTE split in writing before you sign. These terms are almost never fixed at the offer stage and are far easier to negotiate before you accept than after.
Assistant Professor of Medicine Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most assistant professor of medicines?
University Of Washington, University of Miami, and Indiana University are hiring the most assistant professor of medicines right now, with openings concentrated in Florida, California, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Academic medical centers affiliated with large research universities tend to post the highest volume of faculty openings.
How many assistant professor of medicine jobs are remote?
About 8% of assistant professor of medicine openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the clinical nature of most faculty roles. Administrative, curriculum development, and health policy-focused positions within departments of medicine are the sub-areas most likely to offer flexible or remote arrangements.
How do you become an assistant professor of medicine?
You typically need to complete an MD or DO degree, finish an ACGME-accredited residency, and in many subspecialties complete an additional fellowship. After training, you apply for a faculty position at an academic medical center, provide evidence of teaching experience and research output, and secure state medical licensure. Most institutions also expect board certification before or shortly after appointment.
How do you get hired as an assistant professor of medicine with little experience?
Focus on roles labeled 'instructor' or 'clinician-educator track,' which are structured for candidates earlier in their academic careers and place less weight on independent research grants. During your residency or fellowship, seek out formal teaching opportunities with medical students, present at departmental grand rounds, and aim to co-author at least one peer-reviewed publication so you have concrete academic work to show.
What does the assistant professor of medicine interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a phone or video screen with the division chief or search committee chair, followed by an in-person visit lasting one to two days. During the visit you'll deliver a research or case presentation to faculty and trainees, meet individually with department leadership and potential collaborators, and tour clinical and research facilities. A formal offer usually follows a committee vote, sometimes weeks after the visit.
