Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Regular, Regular/In-Residence or In-Residence

Description:

The Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology (PMB) at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine invites applications to fill a ladder rank faculty position at the Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Regular, Regular/In-Residence or In-Residence series (50/50 split) encompassing all levels in Physiology. The expected start date is July 1, 2020.

The Department is continuing to build research strength across all areas of physiology, including molecular, cellular, tissue and organ. We search for candidates who demonstrate excellence, originality and productivity in research and a strong interest in teaching and mentoring, combined with a commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In addition to a strong record of research and teaching excellence, the successful candidate will demonstrate an understanding of the barriers preventing full participation of underrepresented minorities in higher education. This search is part of a campus-wide initiative to hire leading research faculty with a strong commitment to research, teaching and service that will promote success of underrepresented minority students (African-American, Latino (a)/Chicano, (a) Hispanic, and Native American), faculty and community. Applicants' track record of engagement and activity related to diversity, equal opportunity, and inclusion, as well as a clearly articulated vision of how their work at UC Davis will continue to contribute to the University's mission of serving the needs of our diverse state and student population, will be a significant part of the overall evaluation of the candidate's qualifications for a faculty appointment. With this in mind:

The initial screening of candidates will be based on the evaluation of the candidates’ Cover Letter and Statement of Contributions to Diversity.  Applicants are strongly recommended to read the guidelines for writing a diversity statement before completing their application materials. The link is https://academicaffairs.ucdavis.edu/guidelines-writing-diversity-statement.

Appointees to the Regular/In-Residence series are required to conduct independent research indicated by high impact dissemination and publication. Both Regular and In-Residence faculty are expected to garner external funding to support their research, engage in teaching on a regular and substantial basis, and participate in University and public service. The ideal candidate will oversee a biomedical research program in the field of physiology. Participation in department, school, and university service is an expectation under our faculty shared governance model, as applicable.

 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Ph.D., MD./Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent in a biomedical science-related discipline awarded by the time of hire.
  • An outstanding record of research creativity, independence, and productivity.
  • Experience or ability to foster collegiality and work collaboratively in a diverse environment.
  • Experience or ability to adhere to University policies and procedures.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

We seek applicants with demonstrated strengths and experience in the following areas:

  • Excellence in research that complements or extends existing research strengths in the department and the potential to attract extramural funding.
  • Evidence of commitment to or strong potential for commitment to the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion for underrepresented minority students and groups (African-American, Latino (a)/Chicano (a)/Hispanic, and Native American), and how this commitment integrates with teaching, research, and service.
  • Commitment to excellence in teaching. Must demonstrate potential or evidence or ability to perform well at both graduate and undergraduate levels and to develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses or seminars.

For full consideration applications must be completed by November 1, 2019; however, the position will remain open until filled through June 30, 2020. Applications packages must be submitted online through https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/apply/JPF03082 and should include the following:
