The desired candidate should possess a strong commitment to both clinical practice as well as resident teaching.

For those candidates with a keen interest in pursuing research as part of their academic career, the UF College of Medicine is a superb location to practice as it offers excellent intramural funding opportunities in addition to traditional government funding mechanisms. The other members of the Advanced Rhinology division are collaborative R01-funded researchers. Total extramural funding during FY25 for UF Medicine was more than $450 million. Protected time for research is available for qualified candidates who receive research funding. Mentorship from experienced faculty members will be provided for candidates without prior independent research experience and/or funding.

Salary, rank and tenure status will be commensurate with experience.

Fellowship in Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull base is required.

A cover letter, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation are required with application. Please send all materials and questions to Dr. Nikita Chapurin (Nikita.Chapurin@ent.ufl.edu). 

The final candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to the hiring department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered "official" if a designation of "Issued to Student" is visible. Degrees earned from an educational institution outside of the United States are required to be evaluated by a professional credentialing service provider approved by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
