Required faculty responsibilities include developing an excellent research program supported by extramural funding, teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and participating in service activities. Successful candidates must also demonstrate a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion in higher education. Applicants must have a well-articulated plan for contributing to programs that increase access and success of underrepresented students and/or local communities in the sciences.

All candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and be committed to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition to excellence and creativity in research and scholarship, successful candidates must also demonstrate a commitment to programs that improve equity, diversity, and inclusion in higher education.

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.

Review of applications will commence October 25, 2022 and will continue until position is filled.

Interested applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research, statement of teaching, a statement describing their past experience and leadership in fostering equity and diversity and their potential to make future contributions, and 3-5 publications.  For information on preparing diversity statements and School-wide initiatives to promote diversity, see: http://facultydiversity.ucsd.edu/recruitment/contributions-to-diversity.html and https://biology.ucsd.edu/diversity/faculty-expectations.html.
