Job Summary

The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is pleased to announce a cluster hiring initiative in precision health and informatics. We seek to expand our strength in developing ground-breaking research and solutions related to healthcare delivery and public health policy. This interdisciplinary approach combines expertise in biomedical research, health informatics, public health informatics, and bioinformatics to advance precision and population health. In line with UTA’s strategic research areas of Health and the Human Condition and Data-Driven Discovery, the goal is to move from a sick care system to a true healthcare system. This requires a collaborative and multi-interdisciplinary approach involving health-related research professionals from diverse backgrounds, working together to advance personalized and effective patient care strategies. Individuals with research interests, including modeling to predict disease risk, predicting health outcomes and responses to therapies, using public information for disease surveillance, and systems information optimizing health-related data sets, are strongly encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate will advance learning and knowledge through research, teaching, service, and commercialization in disciplines in our College of Engineering, College of Nursing and Health Innovation, and College of Science.

The new faculty hires will bridge disciplines across the college/school and their departments, stimulating innovative research and teaching efforts. Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative, engaging, and dynamic environment comprising individuals with various backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. We seek candidates with funded research programs who can produce research and scholarly or creative achievements that enhance the program and the discipline. A strong promise of extramural grant funding will also be considered for Assistant Professor applicants. New faculty will be expected to deliver high-quality teaching using evidence-based practices to engage students from various backgrounds and experiences effectively.

The appointments are expected to commence September 1, 2025, for the start of the Fall 2025 semester.
