The Department of Pathology at The University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine seeks candidates for Assistant, Associate or Professor positions on either the tenure track or non-tenure clinical track to join an active and expanding Pathology department.  Our intent is to recruit a molecular pathologist to provide pathology coverage needs at the University of Iowa (UI) as well as the Iowa City Veterans Administration (ICVA) hospital.  Physician-scientist candidates with productive research programs or clinical-track faculty candidates are equally welcome to apply.

Pathology services at UI and ICVA encompass a broad range of coverage across multiple subspecialty disciplines, including molecular pathology, hematopathology, surgical pathology, coagulation, chemistry, microbiology,  transfusion medicine, and informatics.  There are opportunities for development of regional outreach programs and other leadership opportunities within the VA system.  Flexibility of coverage is possible depending on candidate’s interest and expertise (for example, combination of molecular pathology with hematopathology or surgical pathology).

Successful candidates will be required to self-disclose any misconduct history or pending research misconduct investigation including but not limited to sexual misconduct in prior employment and provide a related release and will be subject to a criminal background and credential check.
