Medical Sub-Speciality
Location Tucson Campus
Address 1501 N. Campbell Ave, Tucson, AZ 85724 USA
Position Highlights
The Department of Medicine seeks dynamic physician scientists to join and expand our outstanding biomedical research team, with multiple tenure-track faculty positions available at the rank of Assistant to Full Professor. Appointees will maintain a productive research program and provide patient care directly. Other responsibilities will include teaching and supervision of trainees and students.
We are interested in applicants in any area of scientific investigation and clinical subspecialty, and especially welcome those whose research focus is more broadly in the areas of aging, genomic medicine and bioinformatics, obesity and metabolism, healthcare delivery and policy (including AI), cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, rheumatology/immunotherapy, infectious disease/microbiology, cancer biology, and kidney/gastrointestinal disorders. Academic rank and compensation (including generous start up support) are dependent upon qualifications. Primary appointments will be in the Department of Medicine, although we anticipate that appointees will develop close interactions with other departments, centers and institutes at the University of Arizona (UA), with additional opportunities available via research partnerships with the Veterans Affairs (VA) Tucson Medical Center, which serves all of Southern Arizona. Faculty recruited through this effort will strengthen and diversify a collegial and internationally acclaimed research base that is making major contributions to the advancement of human health.
The College of Medicine – Tucson provides state-of-the-art programs in medical education, groundbreaking research opportunities, and leading-edge patient care, anchoring the main campus-adjacent, UA Health Sciences campus, which also includes Colleges of Public Health, Pharmacy, Nursing, and (Allied) Health Sciences.

Building on an established clinical partnership with Banner Health, the fourth largest non-profit healthcare system in the U.S., the Department is well-positioned as the sole academic health care provider in southern Arizona to transform the health of communities that we serve by achieving excellence in clinical care, education, and research.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Medical Doctor Jobs at University of Arizona Jobs
Target Departments With Ongoing Recruitment Cycles
University of Arizona's health sciences units recruit Medical Doctors across clinical and academic tracks on a rolling basis. Focusing on departments like internal medicine, psychiatry, or family medicine increases your chances of finding a role with active sponsorship intent.
Clarify J-1 Waiver Options During Offer Negotiations
Many academic medical centers use J-1 for physician trainees who then need a waiver before transitioning to H-1B employment. Ask the hiring department upfront whether they support Conrad 30 or Interested Government Agency waivers, since this directly affects your timeline to full clinical work authorization.
Understand the PERM Timeline for Physician Green Cards
If you're targeting EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, DOL's PERM labor certification can take 12 to 18 months before University of Arizona can file your immigrant petition. Factor this into your long-term planning, especially if you're transitioning off a time-limited visa.
Use Migrate Mate to Find Open Physician Roles
Medical Doctor positions at University of Arizona are listed across multiple portals and can be hard to track. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for University of Arizona physician openings that include visa sponsorship, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is confirmed.
Align Your CV Format to Academic Medicine Standards
University of Arizona hiring committees for Medical Doctor roles expect a full academic CV, not a resume. Include your residency, fellowship, board certifications, publications, and any teaching appointments. A mismatch in format signals unfamiliarity with academic medical hiring norms.

Which visa types does University of Arizona use for Medical Doctor roles?

For long-term immigration, the university supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through PERM labor certification.
