Position description The School of Biological Sciences, Department of Molecular Biology, hereby announces a search for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor

level in the field of Molecular Biology. We seek candidates who develop or apply computational methods to address fundamental questions in molecular biology, particularly those who integrate computational and experimental approaches through hybrid wet-dry research programs. Candidates working on cutting-edge questions related to gene regulatory mechanisms and other processes underlying the central dogma, and how they

control biological processes are encouraged to apply. Computational approaches may range from advanced quantitative analyses, to bioinformatics approaches, to AI/ML-based genomic analyses. Required faculty responsibilities include developing an excellent research program supported by extramural funding, teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and participating in service activities. The School of Biological

Sciences at UC San Diego brings together exceptional breadth in biological research in a highly collaborative community. Our faculty pursue fundamental discoveries across scales, from molecules and cells to organisms and ecosystems, while developing and applying technologies that are transforming biology. With outstanding graduate and undergraduate programs, state-of-the-art research capabilities, and deep
