The position is available immediately, and the search will remain open until the position has been filled. The Section of Orthodontics is recognized for clinical and academic excellence, up-to-date clinical facilities, and offers an exceptional research environment. Numerous opportunities are available for clinical and/or research collaboration within the Dental School and other UCLA health schools.

The Program Director will also be expected to work collaboratively with other sections and advanced education programs to deliver interdisciplinary courses and patient care. An opportunity for part-time intramural practice will be available. The position calls for a mature mentor with recognized interpersonal skills who can provide an evidence-based approach to postgraduate education and clinical care. The ability to develop collegial working relationships with students, staff, and faculty and to provide a positive environment is expected.
