POSITION DESCRIPTION
The UCLA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
(www.chemistry.ucla.edu) is seeking outstanding candidates for
tenure–track and tenured faculty positions at the level of Assistant,
Associate, and Full Professor. All candidates who align with the
department’s mission and work in any field of Chemistry are encouraged
to apply. The successful applicants at the Assistant level will be
expected to develop strong and creative research programs and to
contribute to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The
successful applicants at the Associate and Full levels are expected to
have demonstrated excellence in research, teaching, service, and
leadership. Ph.D. required.
All applications must be uploaded and submitted through UCLA Academic Recruit.
Candidates should provide a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a list
of publications, a summary of research accomplishments (1-2 pages),
future research plans, a teaching statement, and a statement of
contribution to diversity. In addition, candidates for the Assistant
Professor level position should arrange for at least 3 letters of
reference to be uploaded to UCLA Academic Recruit.
Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of
California pay scales. The posted UC salary scales
set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment. See
Table 1: Faculty – Ladder Ranks. The salary range for this position is
$74,600-$197,100. “Off-scale salaries” and other components of pay,
i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at
the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet
competitive conditions. See campus compensation page for additional
information.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Search Committee will
begin reviewing materials and applications on November 10, 2023. Final
application submission deadline is November 30, 2023.
The University of California Los Angeles and the Department of
Chemistry and Biochemistry are interested in candidates who are
committed to the highest standards of scholarship and professional
activities, and to the development of a campus climate that supports
diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a campus with a diverse student
body, we encourage applications from diverse individuals. The
preferred candidate will also demonstrate a track record of and
continued commitment to mentoring of students from underrepresented
and historically marginalized communities in the sciences.
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, 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.
