between the SSPPS and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Department of
Chemistry and Biochemistry, Department of Pharmacology, Department of
Cellular and Molecular Medicine, and Moores
Comprehensive
Cancer
Center, and clinical departments in the
School of Medicine. UCSD is also home of the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
Opportunities abound for interaction with The Scripps Research Institute,
Salk Institute, Burnham Institute, and La Jolla Institute of Allergy and
Immunology as well as nearly 400 local pharmaceutical and biotechnology
groups. Outstanding laboratory
space is available in the new Pharmaceutical Sciences Building,
located within the Health
Sciences
Center
at UCSD. In addition to vigorous pursuit of innovative research programs,
successful candidates will team teach in courses for Ph.D., Pharm.D., and
M.D. students.
