Assistant or Associate Professor of Cell Biology

This profile is only for Tenure-line faculty. Tenure is an appointment without term (i.e. without an end date). All tenure-eligible and tenured faculty members, jointly referred to as tenure-line faculty, are full-time, salaried, hold a professorial rank (assistant professor, associate professor, and professor), and must be elected by the Board of Visitors.

Tenure-line faculty in the SOM have Academic Appointments on one of the following tracks: Academic Investigator, Clinical Investigator, and Clinical Educator, all of which share this Tenure-line Faculty job profile.

Tenure-line faculty and all personnel actions associated with them are governed by the EVPP and policy PROV-017: Employment of Tenure-line Faculty.

Only associate professors and professors can hold tenure; tenure-eligible assistant professors or associate professors achieve tenure after a probationary period and promotion review, as determined by their school’s policies, and the approval of the provost and the Board of Visitors.

Tenure-line faculty employment expectations may include: investment and effectiveness in student education and development; achievement in scholarship, research, and/or creative work; and service contributions to the University, profession, and/or the public.

Because of the significant disciplinary differences between schools, specific employment expectations vary by school and are described in local school policies. Schools may have additional expectations of faculty who have other documented responsibilities.

Only schools and academic departments can host Tenure-line faculty (not programs, centers, institutes, or other non-school reporting units).

Physical requirements of faculty will vary, but may include some or all of the following: traveling to and from work location, other UVA or UVA Health facilities, or to other locations in the U.S. or abroad for meetings or research; using computers, specialized equipment, and other technologies; remaining stationary, moving, bending, lifting, and reaching; performing procedures using fine motor skills; communicating effectively, in writing, in person, in the classroom, online, and in clinical settings; and interacting with others such as colleagues, other academic and medical peers, students, patients, and the public.
