DESCRIPTIONRecruitment The School of Pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) announces a search for an outstanding leader to be Chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. About the School: Our faculty is advancing innovative therapeutics-related science, guiding the most creative PhD scientists-in-the-making, and preparing Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students to think critically. We are steering the direction of research and health care delivery outside academia, working as pharmacists on health teams in groundbreaking ways, caring for patients through new approaches, and empowering patients with the information they need to make the best personal choices about medications. The Dean’s Office, the School’s three departments and its Organized Research Unit (ORU), the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI), work toward these ends in different but complementary ways:
About the Department: The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry seeks to understand the biological principles of small molecules, proteins, and cellular design, and to apply these principles for the therapeutic benefit of patients. To this end we investigate new molecular treatment targets, new and more precise ways to therapeutically alter their activity, and new biomarkers to track disease and treatment efficacy. We also create and continually refine both the chemical biology tools and the core enabling technologies used by our own labs and others worldwide to probe and analyze structural and systems biology at the molecular level. We educate science students in many PhD programs at UC San Francisco. We are closely involved with the five PhD programs administered by the School of Pharmacy: We provide our Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) professional student pharmacists with the strong basic science foundation required to deliver optimal patient care. Accomplished postdoctoral scholars are welcomed into our labs where they receive the advanced research experience they need to become leaders in their fields. We are committed to sharing advances in our fields of study with all the students we teach. Leadership Responsibilities: As the academic leader and administrative head of the Department, the Department Chair duties include: Criteria for appointment: To apply: Submit the following documents via AP Recruit: https://aprecruit.ucsf.edu/apply/JPF02497
