Job description

The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, in the Dunlop School of Biological Sciences of the University of California Irvine, is seeking a qualified Assistant Professor In-Residence with a strong background in cellular metabolism and lipid biology.

Requirements: The applicant must have experience with quantitative metabolic and lipid trafficking methods and must demonstrate training, knowledge, and experience in collaborating with other research teams.

Preference will be given to candidates with ongoing research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and foundations, as well as a strong research publication track record.

UC Irvine offers an excellent salary, incentive and benefits program. Faculty compensation and start-up funding will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Research in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB) strives to uncover the molecular mechanisms that underlie fundamental biological processes. To that end the faculty of the department represent diverse research interests that include the structure and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids, gene organization and regulation, cell signaling and metabolism, immunology and host pathogen interactions, genetics, microbiology and virology. The department trains doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, and hosts two master’s degree programs: Biotechnology, and Biotechnology Management. As one of five departments in the Dunlop School of Biological Sciences, faculty also participate in teaching and mentoring undergraduate students.

Orange County is world renowned for its natural beauty, perfect year-round climate, gorgeous locales on the Pacific Ocean and incomparable recreational opportunities.
