Tenured-track/tenured Faculty Position in Computational Toxicology
University of California Los Angeles
Requisition Number: JPF08086
The UCLA Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health (FSPH) in collaboration with the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) invites applicants for a faculty position supported by the UCLA Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH; https://coeh.ph.ucla.edu). The ULCA COEH, which is housed in the FPSH Department of Environmental Health Sciences, is a state-funded center that brings together interdisciplinary faculty and students to address occupational and environmental health issues through research, teaching and training. The faculty position will be housed in either FSPH or DGSOM, depending on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and resource needs. The position is a state-supported, tenure-track/tenured professorship with an academic year salary base, outstanding benefits, and start-up funds. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in toxicology, or environmental and occupational health, or a closely related field, and will be expected to establish an internationally recognized, extramurally-funded research program. In addition, the candidate will teach graduate courses in toxicology, mentor and train graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and will have the opportunity to teach at the undergraduate level. The applicant’s research should use computational and data science approaches alone or in combination with laboratory-based research to understand the effects of environmental stressors, including chemical, physical and /or biological agents, on human health. The relationships between the health impacts of these stressors and climate change is an area of particular interest. Research addressing diseases encompassed within one or more of the six unified research themes of the DGSOM (Cancer; Cardiovascular; Immune, Inflammation, Infection and Transplantation; Metabolism; Neuroscience; Regenerative Medicine; see https://medschool.ucla.edu/unified-research-themes) are of particular interest, as is research that centers and advances health equity and translational social science.
UCLA is California’s largest university, with an enrollment of nearly 44,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and was named the best public university in the United States for 2022 by US News & World Report. We welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. We encourage applications from women, minorities, and individuals with a history of mentoring under-represented groups in the sciences.

The position will remain open until filled. The earliest possible start date for this position is July 1, 2023. Salary will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

CAMPUS INFORMATION
The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
