Position description The Department of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an ongoing pool of assistant adjunct professors, associate adjunct professors, and adjunct professors. Adjunct faculty members are expected to engage in research or other creative activity, teaching, and university and public service. Appointments in this series may be assigned to academic scholars currently affiliated with other universities, or to qualified individuals who are professional practitioners of appropriate distinction when such an affiliation supports the academic and professional endeavors of the department.

The campus is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the breadth of scholarly activity and who can add additional dimension to the Baskin School of Engineering by complementing or augmenting our existing research strengths. See APM 280 Adjunct Professor for a full description of the Adjunct Professor title series. Current areas of excellence and research foci within biomolecular engineering include bioinformatics, bioengineering, biotechnology, biochemistry, computer science, laboratory automation, immunology and virology, microarray analysis, molecular biology, molecular genetics, nanotechnology, protein engineering, stem cells and systems biology. UC Santa Cruz is the University of California campus nearest to Silicon Valley and maintains close ties with local industry in the fields of biomolecular engineering. The campus is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the inclusive excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching, and/or service.
