Position description
The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences within the School of Medicine at UC San Diego is committed to academic excellence among its faculty, staff, and student body and is seeking an accomplished physician-scientist and visionary leader to serve as the Division Director of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI). This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of reproductive medicine at one of the nation's premier academic health systems while leading a distinguished division recognized for clinical excellence, scientific innovation, and educational impact.
As UC San Diego continues to expand its clinical, research, and academic missions, the Division Director will play a pivotal role in advancing a nationally recognized program that spans reproductive endocrinology and infertility, in vitro fertilization, fertility preservation, reproductive surgery, oncofertility, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, fibroids, and reproductive biology research.

This highly visible leadership role offers the opportunity to influence the future direction of reproductive medicine while mentoring and teaching faculty, fellows, residents, medical students, and emerging physician-scientists. The Division Director will also maintain an active clinical practice, lead innovative research initiatives, and contribute to the educational mission of one of the nation's top academic medical centers.
We welcome candidates who are collaborative, forward-thinking leaders passionate about advancing reproductive health, cultivating academic excellence, and inspiring the next generation of clinicians and scientists. Candidates who value building consensus, strengthening interdisciplinary partnerships, and creating a culture that supports innovation, discovery, and outstanding patient care are encouraged to apply.
