Position description
The University of California Irvine (UCI), Department of
Ophthalmology () invites applications for a full-time position. We
seek candidates interested in building a strong, dynamic, and
diverse research group focused on the development of genetic
engineering and genome editing technologies that address problems
in medicine, including diseases of the eye. Applicants working on
any area of genetic engineering broadly defined will be fully
considered. Areas of particular interest include gene editing, gene
delivery, gene therapy, and their relevance to vision research.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences or a
related field of study. Postdoctoral experience and a demonstrated
ability to conduct original, innovative genetics research is
desirable.
This academic appointment will be at the tenure-track/tenured
faculty position which confers membership in the UCI Academic
Senate.
The Department seeks applicants with an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D.
degree who will be expected to establish an extramurally funded
independent research program related to vision and/or retinal
diseases with emphasis in ocular genetics, biochemistry,
biophysics, ophthalmology, pharmacology and/or physiology.
Successful candidates will have an established strong record of NIH
funding, a significantly established research program, and
experience in teaching. Candidates will be expected to support
institutional and departmental teaching and mentoring missions to
medical and graduate students, residents, fellows, and young
faculty. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience and
expectations.
UC Irvine research groups enjoy a highly interdisciplinary and
collaborative environment. The successful applicant will likely
engage with groups both within and outside of the Department of
Ophthalmology. For example, the application of gene editing to
study and address inherited retinal diseases is well-represented in
the Center for Translational Vision Research (CTVR) at UC Irvine;
and the development of genetic engineering technologies is
well-represented both within and outside the School of Medicine,
including the Schools of Engineering, Biological Sciences,
Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the new Center for Synthetic Biology.
Overall, there is an ongoing campus-wide effort to bridge
bioengineering advances with medical applications, which will
provide additional support, infrastructure, and a community of
interdisciplinary researchers to help grow the successful
applicant's program.
Interested candidates should apply through the UC Irvine RECRUIT
system located at:
and upload the following application materials to be considered for
the position:
Cover Letter
Curriculum Vitae
Statement of Research (up to 3 pages)
Teaching Statement
Inclusive Excellence Activities Statement
Name and contact information for 3-5 referees.
PDFs of 3-5 recent publications
Inquiries about the position can be addressed to Dr. Krzysztof
Palczewski at
Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
The University of California, Irvine, established in 1965, is
ranked among the nation's best research institutes with over $590M
in yearly funding. In addition, Irvine is one of the safest
communities in the U.S. and offers a very pleasant year-round
climate, numerous recreational and cultural opportunities, and one
of the highest-ranked public-school systems in the nation.
