Position Description


The Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an Assistant Professor position working on the roles of neural stem cells in development and/or diseases. We encourage applicants who use endogenous neural stem cells in animal models, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and other stem cell models. We are particularly interested in applicants who use state-of-the-art experimental approaches ranging from molecular to system levels, have an outstanding record of research accomplishments, and complement the department's existing strengths in neuroscience and stem cell biology.

Successful candidates will be offered a competitive start-up package, will join a vibrant community of neuroscience and stem cell researchers with access to the state-of-the-art facilities, and will be mentored by more established faculty members. Candidates will be expected to establish a vigorous externally funded research program, contribute to the intellectual vitality of the UCSC scientific community, teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the classroom, mentor students in their research lab, and provide service to the campus and their profession.

UC Santa Cruz is a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a high proportion of first-in-family students. UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is committed to hiring faculty who will work to support these values. We welcome candidates who understand the barriers facing women and individuals who are underrepresented in the classroom and in higher education careers (as evidenced by life experiences and educational background), and who have experience in equity and diversity with respect to teaching, mentoring, research, life experiences, or service towards building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment.

The chosen candidate will be expected to sign a statement representing that they are not the subject of any ongoing investigation or disciplinary proceeding at their current academic institution or place of employment, nor have they in the past ten years been formally disciplined at any academic institution/place of employment. In the event the candidate cannot make this representation, they will be expected to disclose in writing to the hiring Dean the circumstances surrounding any formal discipline that they have received, as well as any current or ongoing investigation or disciplinary process of which they are the subject. (Note that discipline includes a negotiated settlement agreement to resolve a matter related to substantiated misconduct.)
