Description

Job Description:

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is recruiting a cohort of six tenure-track Assistant Professors who will advance knowledge in areas related to Hispanic health disparities.

The positions are part of the NIH-funded Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation (FIRST) grant ) awarded to UTEP.

The UTEP FIRST program goals are:
(1) fostering sustainable institutional culture change; (2) promoting institutional inclusive excellence by hiring a diverse cohort of new faculty; and (3) supporting faculty development, mentoring, sponsorship, and promotion.

Addressing and eventually eliminating disparities within Hispanic communities requires understanding the intersection of numerous variables at multiple levels of integration.

UTEP is committed to expanding interdisciplinary research initiatives that include multiple areas of research foci and entail collaborations across campus to study the health of Hispanic communities.

The framework of the UTEP FIRST program is to hire a cohort of faculty whose expertise spans a range of domains.

Participating UTEP colleges and schools include:

College of Business
College of Education
College of Engineering
College of Health Sciences
College of Liberal Arts
College of Nursing
School of Pharmacy
College of Science

FIRST faculty will receive competitive salary and startup packages, as well as 75% protected research time for the duration of the NIH FIRST award.

They will also be provided investigative space in the new UTEP interdisciplinary research building (IDRB), which houses open-concept laboratories and state-of-the-art facilities.

FIRST faculty will have the opportunity to interact with senior investigators in a highly collaborative interdisciplinary environment.

They will benefit from a support system involving multiple mentorship touchpoints and platforms including one-on-one mentoring with sponsors, advocates, and grant writing coaches.

FIRST faculty will be guided by institutional and Faculty Development Core leaders and invited to join a community of practice aligned with their interests.

Tailored mentoring will ensure that each faculty member builds a network of support to foster their independent research program in a clear, impactful, and competitive manner to address their individual and cohort needs.

Notably, FIRST faculty will engage in a series of integrated activities that will propel them from early-stage investigators to established principal investigators and, ultimately, to emergent institutional leaders.

UTEP is a Carnegie R1 research intensive, Hispanic-serving institution with a prominent focus on addressing health disparities and health equity for the predominately Hispanic demographic living on the United States-Mexico border.

The UTEP Border Biomedical Research Center, supported by the National Institutes of Health Research Centers in Minority Institutions (NIH RCMI) Program, has for many years been the focal point for biomedical research at UTEP, and provides support through state-of-the-art core facilities to UTEP biomedical researchers.
