Clinical Assistant Professor Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical assistant professor in Arizona?
You become a clinical assistant professor in Arizona by holding an active, unrestricted license from the relevant Arizona state board for your discipline, such as the Arizona State Board of Nursing, the Arizona Medical Board, or the Arizona State Board of Physical Therapy, combined with a terminal or professional degree in your field. Most Arizona universities also require recent clinical practice experience and demonstrated teaching or precepting experience before hiring at the faculty level.
Which companies hire clinical assistant professors in Arizona?
Arizona clinical assistant professor roles are posted by Midwestern University, University of Arizona, and Arizona State University and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Arizona's concentration of large academic health systems and research universities means steady openings across multiple clinical disciplines year-round.
Which Arizona cities have the most clinical assistant professor jobs?
Glendale, Tucson, and Phoenix have the most clinical assistant professor openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates because of its concentration of university health science campuses and major hospital systems, while Tucson is driven by the University of Arizona's health professions colleges, and Tempe reflects Arizona State University's growing health and life sciences programs.
Are there remote clinical assistant professor jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of clinical assistant professor openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, because most positions require direct student supervision in clinical settings or hands-on simulation labs. The portions of the role most likely to be remote are didactic course instruction and curriculum development rather than clinical practicum coordination.
How can I get hired as a clinical assistant professor in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is precepting or adjunct instruction while maintaining your clinical role, which many Arizona institutions accept as qualifying teaching experience. Large Arizona employers like Banner Health and Valleywise Health run clinical training partnerships with local universities that offer a bridge from staff clinician to educator. Holding a current Arizona clinical license, completing a certificate in health professions education, and applying for part-time clinical instructor or lab facilitator roles at Arizona State University or Midwestern University gives candidates a strong foothold before moving into full-time faculty positions.
Where can I find and apply to clinical assistant professor jobs in Arizona?
