Job description

The Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine ( https://cmm.ucsd.edu/ ) at the UC San Diego School of Medicine is committed to academic excellence within the faculty, staff, and student body and invites applications for faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Adjunct Professor level in the field of epigenomics, single-cell epigenomics, and spatial and functional genomics.

We seek outstanding candidates pursuing innovative and mechanistic research at the molecular, genetic, or biophysical level, across scales from subcellular to entire organisms. This position offers an exceptional opportunity to join a world-class research environment dedicated to uncovering principles of genomic biology and transforming our understanding of tissue and disease architecture at the cellular and molecular level.

The Successful Candidates will:

• Lead an independent research program focused on spatial and functional genomics, supported by extramural funding.
• Develop novel technologies and/or apply advanced spatial analysis to study tissue microenvironments in health and disease.
• Engage in undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate teaching and mentoring activities within the department.
• Contribute to collaborative, multidisciplinary research across the School of Medicine and the broader UCSD community.

Candidates with research programs that use multiplexed spatial transcriptomics, genome-scale chromatin imaging, single-cell epigenomics, and super-resolution imaging to understand cellular organization and communication in health and disease, including cancer, are encouraged to apply.

The appropriate series and appointment at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be based on the candidate’s background and experience.
