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 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.

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.

ucop.edu / academic-personnel-programs / compensation / index.html)

set the minimum pay determined by rank and / or step at appointment. See Table 1 : Faculty - Ladder Ranks (https : / / www.

ucop.edu / academic-personnel-programs / compensation / 2023-24-academic-salary-scales.html) . 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.

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.
