UCSD is establishing an interdepartmental initiative in medicinal chemistry.  We invite applications at all levels from outstandingly creative chemists with interests in such areas as organic synthesis or the characterization of natural products.  The ideal candidates would be eligible for joint appointment among UCSD units including the new School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.  It is planned that this initiative will lead to the hiring of six or more new faculty members over a period of perhaps three years, and that successful early candidates will play a major role in shaping this initiative.  New and renovated space on campus in La Jolla will be available for this initiative.  Opportunities abound for interaction with groups in Health Sciences, Marine Sciences, the General Campus at UCSD in La Jolla, The Scripps Research Institute, the Salk Institute, and with other nearby academic centers.  Major new research campuses being opened near UCSD by Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and other companies offer additional opportunities for collaboration, as do the dozens of smaller startup companies nearby. 

Candidates will be expected to show evidence of their potential through letters of recommendation and a publication record appropriate for their experience.
