Type: Full-time
Salary: Open
Internal Number: 3269610
Assistant/Associate Professor in Microbiology (tenure track appointment)
POSITION AVAILABLE: Assistant/Associate Professor in Microbiology (tenure track appointment)
SALARY: Dependent on qualifications and experience
QUALIFICATIONS: We are seeking an outstanding research-focused microbiologist with a demonstrated research interest in veterinary bacteriology/mycology. Our faculty provide a strong, collegial core to support investigation of infectious agents and disease in animals and humans. Our departmental research focuses on the mechanisms by which diseases develop at the organismal, cellular, and molecular levels. We have overlapping and collaborative research strengths in both the interactions of microbes with their hosts and the host response to infection. A PhD or equivalent is required. Topics of specific interest include but are not limited to: antimicrobial resistance, the microbiome, microbial ecology, bacterial pathogenesis, metagenomics and the development of cutting-edge techniques to detect or examine the pathogenesis of bacterial or fungal infections. The School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) embraces the One Health concept and offers many opportunities for collaboration on projects that span animal, human, and ecosystem health. Candidates are expected to develop a funded research program. Experience in basic, translational and/or collaborative research in areas that integrate well with the research strengths in the Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology and related groups at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), the SVM, and broadly on the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) campus is required. Aptitude/experience in teaching, and a demonstrated commitment to innovative teaching methods and to the training of veterinary or other biomedical scientists is preferred.
The successful candidate must have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, a demonstrated ability to work with others in a collegial and collaborative team atmosphere, and strong commitment to contributing to diversity, equity and inclusion. UC Davis is committed to collegiality, kindness, and supporting a diverse community of scholars with an emphasis on recruiting scholars who will make a significant contribution to diversity through the advancement of underrepresented people in science.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
In addition to an independently funded research program, the candidate is expected to balance scholarship with teaching, clinical, and service activities. The distribution of effort toward each activity is unique, and optimized for each of our faculty.
Research: Development of a creative and productive research program in relevant fields of interest is a fundamental requirement of the position, as is publication of results in high quality, peer-reviewed scientific journals. The successful applicant is expected to obtain extramural funding and to direct research programs with opportunities for involvement of graduate students, professional students, and/or post-doctoral scholars.
Teaching: Teaching responsibilities include participation in lectures, discussions, laboratories, and other learning activities in the DVM professional curriculum, graduate academic programs (PhD, MS, MPVM), and/or undergraduate courses.
If the successful candidate has research interests aligned with the Agricultural Experiment Station (AES; https://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/research/agricultural-experiment-station) and its mission-oriented research, a split appointment as a Microbiologist in the AES is possible.
Clinical: Collaboration with the VMTH is supported by a 10% diagnostic effort assignment in the Microbiology Laboratory at the VMTH.
Service: The University of California has a system of shared governance. Active participation in committees, professional organizations, continuing education and other appropriate outlets is required.
Faculty members in the SVM at UC Davis have opportunities to synergize with research groups within the School of Medicine, the VMTH (including the Veterinary Center for Clinical Trials), the One Health Institute, the Veterinary Institute for Regenerative Cures, the California National Primate Research Center, the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Center for Equine Health and the Center for Companion Animal Health, among others.

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, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment, UC Davis conducts a reference check on all first choice candidates for Academic Senate Assistant Professor, step 4, 5, or 6 or Academic Senate positions eligible for tenure or security of employment. The reference check involves contacting the administration of the applicant's previous institution(s) to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct.

If an applicant does not include the signed authorization with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration.
