Description: The University of California, Riverside, seeks to recruit three faculty members at the tenured Associate to Full Professor level. Successful applicants will be appointed in the Division of Biomedical Sciences, joining a small group of exceptional faculty members who have directed a successful M.D. program in collaboration with UCLA for the past 33 years. The newly-approved School of Medicine will evolve from the current Division and is slated to open in August of 2012. Successful candidates will be expected to bring and maintain a vigorous, well-funded research program and provide research leadership through group development and collaboration with existing faculty, both within and outside of the Medical School. Areas of research within the Division include integrative immunology (vaccine development, neuro-immune, endocrine-immune, host-pathogen interactions), glial-neuronal interactions, cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, and diseases of ion transport. Particular strengths on the campus include genetics, epigenetics, genomics/bioinformatics, microRNAs, vector biology, bioengineering and nanotechnology, and synthetic and analytical chemistry.
