Candidates must possess a Ph.D., MD, or equivalent degree. For applicants at the Assistant Professor level, extramural funding is not required.

Department research funding is ranked in the top 20, nationally. The University of Kentucky houses an NCI-designated Cancer Center, a federally-supported Alzheimer’s Disease Center, and a Clinical and Translational Science Award. In addition, the College of Medicine and the University are undergoing a significant transformation of biomedical research, with major increases in NIH funding, and additions to research service cores and laboratory space.
