Position description The University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology invites applications for a full-time academic position in the Assistant Adjunct or Assistant In-Residence Professor series. This is largely a grant-supported position. Faculty in the In-Residence series are expected to engage in teaching, independent research and creative work, demonstrate professional competence and activity, and provide University and public service. Faculty in the Adjunct series are expected to engage in research or other creative work, participate in teaching at the undergraduate or graduate level, demonstrate professional competence and activity, and provide University and public service. The successful candidate should have research interests aimed at elucidating molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular function in health and disease, using multiple approaches, that may include electrophysiology (cellular or organ-level), excitation-contraction coupling, biochemistry, molecular biology and computational modeling. The incumbent will be expected to engage in grant-supported collaborative studies with others in the department, in which cardiovascular and neuroscience are main themes. This research should include team-based and multi-disciplinary studies at the intersection of physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology and computer modeling, enabling a wide range of possible collaborations and high-level research training for students with diverse backgrounds. This recruitment is conducted at this assistant rank. The resulting hire will be at the assistant rank, regardless of the proposed appointee's qualifications.
