The Doheny Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine invite applications from outstanding vision scientists for an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor position, with salary and rank commensurate with credentials and experience. We are seeking applicants that have a research focus on immunology, regenerative medicine, gene editing, or imaging that incorporate advanced techniques in their research program.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic and interdisciplinary community of vision scientists and clinicians whose work incorporates basic and translational approaches to understanding and treating ocular disorders. Research of current faculty incorporates multiple techniques (imaging, stem cell biology, mechanobiology, electrophysiology, and immunology) to study age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, and glaucoma.
Requirements for the position include a PhD and/or MD degree, or equivalent, publications in leading peer-reviewed journals, and presentations at national or international conferences. Early career investigators applying for the Assistant Professor position should demonstrate the potential for establishing an independent, federally funded research program. Candidates applying for the Associate or Full Professor position are expected to have a proven track record of scholarship, service, and federal grant funding.
The successful candidate will maintain a nationally recognized basic and/or translational research program, provide service to the Institute, Department, and University, and mentor trainees in vision science. A competitive start-up package, excellent laboratory space and core facilities will be provided at the Doheny Eye Institute in Pasadena.
Further, candidates should demonstrate commitment to inclusive excellence efforts, and we welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, and/or community service has prepared them to contribute to these areas.
