The University of California, San Diego, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SSPPS) (Web: http://pharmacy.ucsd.edu) is initiating a new growth phase with the anticipated hiring of 6-8 basic scientists over the next 3-4 years. Only five years after the first Pharm. D. class was admitted, the SSPPS faculty already ranks in the top tier among pharmacy schools in NIH-supported research. In the coming year we are seeking exceptional faculty members for multiple tenure-track or tenured positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor levels in the area of pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, and pharmaceutics. These individuals will play a lead role in enhancing our drug discovery efforts by complementing the existing strengths in natural products, neuro and immunopharmacology, cancer chemotherapy, microbiology and virology, physiology and development, drug metabolism and disposition, proteomics and mass spectrometry, and NMR. Areas of particular interest include medicinal/synthetic chemistry, computer-aided and structure-based drug design, animal models of disease, molecular toxicology, cell biology, and structural biology. UCSD has a superb environment for collaborations, and strong linkages exist 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 the various clinical departments in the School of Medicine. 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.

Candidates are expected to have a strong track record of scientific and academic achievements demonstrated by publication record and grant funding appropriate to rank, combined with documented skills in teaching. Letters of recommendation should provide evaluation of the candidate's high academic caliber for this faculty position.

Please reference advertisement #PSWEB, 5-142-AD.

Salary and appointment level will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and based on published UC pay scales for the Health Sciences.

Review of applications will begin January 1, 2009 and will continue until the respective positions are filled.

To apply, send a detailed resume/curriculum vitae, a statement of research plans, and names and addresses of at least three references to:
