Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor Positions in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Graduate Program in Biomolecular Science and Engineering University of California, Santa Barbara

The Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomolecular Science and Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara invite applications for two open faculty positions.

An Endowed Chair is to be filled at the advanced Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank. We seek an outstanding established scholar with an internationally recognized research program in any area of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology and/or biochemistry.

Assistant Professor: Molecular Genetics/Developmental Biology. We seek outstanding candidates who are applying interdisciplinary approaches to fundamental biological problems. Applicants with an emphasis on developmental mechanisms, including stem cell biology, are especially urged to apply. This is a tenure-track position to be filled at the Assistant Professor rank.

Applicants for either position should submit curriculum vitae, selected reprints, a brief research plan, and, in the case of the Assistant Professor position, arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to:

Faculty Search Committee Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9610.

Review of applications will begin on November 15, 2006, and will continue until the position is filled.

The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service.
