Position description
The Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health invites applicants for an open Assistant Professor position to begin on July 1, 2025. The position includes 9 months of state-supported salary, with a current base pay range of $74,600 - $83,100. Other components of pay are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions. The position is broadly defined in the area of human health impact associated with pollution of water, soil, and/or food by chemical, biological or physical stressors. Candidates with expertise in laboratory and field-based research approaches, and those addressing climate change impacts and health equity are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain an extramurally supported research program, teach and mentor graduate and undergraduate students, engage in organization service, and develop into leaders in their field.
Los Angeles is a global city renowned for its dynamism, robust economy, rich cultural diversity and spectacular climate. UCLA has been ranked the No. 1 public university in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for seven consecutive years. The Fielding School of Public Health offers undergraduate degrees (BA and BS) and graduate degrees (MPH, MS, and PhD) through five academic departments, the Department of Environmental Health Sciences being one. This Department has particular strengths in the areas of industrial hygiene and occupational health, aerosol science, air pollution, spatiotemporal exposure assessment and environmental epidemiologic research, and health equity, as well as in big data. We seek an individual who can complement our existing expertise, collaborate with current faculty, enhance our capacity and impact in environmental health sciences, and develop into a leader for our organization.
UCLA and Fielding School of Public Health are firmly committed to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Therefore, we ask each applicant to submit a statement that addresses their past efforts and future plans to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their scholarship, teaching and service. The application should include a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interest, the aforementioned diversity statement, evidence of teaching excellence, completed reference check authorization form, and a list of references. Letters of recommendation will be solicited from references following an initial screening review. Applicants must hold a PhD or other terminal degree at the time of application.
All application materials must be submitted via UCLA Academic Recruit:
https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09706 . To ensure full consideration, please submit your online application through the designated website by October 15, 2024. Applications will continue to be reviewed until the posting closes on November 1, 2024. The position will remain open until filled. Historically, UCLA EHS faculty total salaries have been competitive with salaries in similar departments.
Questions regarding the position should be sent to the chair of the search committee, Dr. Yifang Zhu, via email: yifang@ucla.edu.
The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists' current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled "Authorization to Release Information" into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
