Lab/Area:GIDI Central ScienceDescription:

In Residence Faculty Position | UCSF Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutics Sciences /Gladstone Infectious Disease Institute

We invite applications for a faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Senior Investigator at the Gladstone Infectious Disease Institute (GIDI). Focused on leading-edge biomedical research, Gladstone Institutes is an independent, not-for-profit research organization. It is affiliated with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and houses 5 institutes totaling 30 labs in two buildings located on UCSF's Mission Bay Campus. The successful candidate will have a joint faculty appointment as an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in the In-Residence faculty series in the UCSF Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutics Sciences, and in the UCSF PSPG and/or BMS graduate training program.

Gladstone investigators direct world-class research programs that span neurological and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, immunology, virology and bioinformatics, all united by a common desire to overcome unsolved diseases through transformative biomedical research. Our nimble structure and proximity to a world-renowned clinical and research university and to the San Francisco Bay Area biotechnology hub make for a uniquely exciting and supportive environment for investigators interested in taking risks and in building wide collaboration networks.

The Gladstone Infectious Disease Institute has a longstanding commitment to HIV Cure research and has recently added a focus areas on SARS-CoV-2 (including Long COVID), mRNA vaccines, and phage therapy. Primary criteria for appointment at the GIDI will be outstanding records of innovative research, academic performance, and commitment to disease-, treatment- or prevention-focused research in infectious and commensal microbes, host immune responses to pathogens, or pandemic preparedness. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, AI, synthetic protein biology, therapeutics, viral evolution, vector-borne diseases such as Dengue and Chikungunya viruses, and microbiome research. Other selection criteria include demonstrated interest in virology research and relevance to current and future pandemics, and a track record of independent grant support. To qualify for a faculty appointment at UCSF, applicants must possess a medical or doctoral degree, and appropriate post-MD or postdoctoral training.
