Position description
Ladder Rank Faculty Position - Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor
Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics
University of California, San Francisco
The UCSF Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics is seeking faculty to join our vibrant, collaborative, and supportive discovery research community at the Mission Bay Campus in San Francisco.
We seek creative, innovative scientists who define and address fundamental questions in any area of modern biology, including basic and biomedical sciences, biochemistry, evolutionary biology, structural biology, cell biology, developmental biology, systems biology, and computational biology.
We provide faculty with resources to effectively launch their program, including a strong mentoring culture, a highly competitive start-up package, administrative support, and facilities for advanced light and cryo-electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, high-throughput small molecule screening, cytometry, and state-of-the-art animal care.
Tenure-track faculty candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, to have demonstrated significant research accomplishment and potential, and to be committed to the mentorship of students and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in research and to promote the success of our diverse student population. The successful candidate will establish a dynamic and interactive research program and join one or more of our top-ranked interdisciplinary graduate programs (see https://graduate.ucsf.edu/list-programs).
Faculty appointment will be made at a professorial rank commensurate with current academic standing. UCSF offers competitive salaries, research set-up funds, and recruitment allowances, and has numerous opportunities for faculty development and further training in mentorship.
The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and step at appointment. See https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/2024-25/oct-2024-scales/t5-%20summary.pdf. The minimum base salary range for this position is $136,100-$357,500.
