Associate or Full Professor (Ladder, In-Residence) - Department of Medicine, Chair

University of California, San Diego

 

The Department of Medicine (https://medschool.ucsd.edu/som/medicine/) pursues a tripartite mission of innovative research, education, and clinical care in a highly diverse environment. The Department and the School of Medicine at UC San Diego are committed to academic, scientific, and clinical excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body.

In 1960, the University of California established UC San Diego as an integral part of the UC system. From the outset, it emphasized educating the next generation of California scientists and engineers, and expanded with the launch of the School of Medicine in 1968. Like its parent university, the school has placed a high standard upon linking basic and clinical discovery with outstanding, advanced methods for delivering compassionate care to patients. At present, UC San Diego boasts national and international accolades for the excellence of its education programs; the School of Medicine consistently ranks among the Top 10 in research funding; and its clinical programs have earned a number of distinguished awards for quality patient care. UC San Diego Health ranks in the top tier of academic hospitals and health systems, and over the past few years has constructed a number of incredible new inpatient and outpatient spaces.

The UC San Diego Department of Medicine is the largest academic department in the School of Medicine, with nearly 500 full-time faculty members and more than 100 academic researchers across 15 divisions and 3 sections. Its internal medicine specialty training programs include 108 resident physicians, 83 ACGME fellows, and 131 postdoctoral research fellows.

The Department fosters a highly collaborative research environment, with cost expenditures totaling more than $178 million in fiscal year 2018. School of Medicine faculty rank consistently in the top two in the nation in research funding per faculty member, with the Department ranking in the Top 10 in the nation in NIH funding.

The Department has routinely been recognized for its leadership in the most respected national rankings of clinical and research institutions. Most recently, seven internal medicine subspecialties at UC San Diego Health received top-50 rankings on the U.S. News & World Report “Best Hospitals.”

The Department of Medicine invites applications for the role of Department Chair. Reporting to the Dean, School of Medicine, with a dotted-line to the CEO of UC San Diego Health (for clinical activities), the Chair will be responsible for the Department's overall management, academic planning, budget, personnel, resource allocation, and programs. The Chair will play major role in the planning and development of the academic curriculum and research portfolio. Sufficient infrastructural support will be provided to allow the Chair to maintain a clinical practice. Given the interdisciplinary nature of education and research at UC San Diego, there will be opportunities to catalyze interactions among programs and foster a culture of learning across the continuum of biomedical research and education, including in partnership with the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Jacobs School of Engineering, and other campus partners.

UC San Diego seeks candidates whose leadership capabilities and experience, teaching, research, and/or community service have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to excellence. The successful candidate will be able to prioritize, grow, and support the current excellence in patient care; advance methods of medical education; and create opportunities to accelerate innovation and research. They will also identify additional recruits to help grow the scholarly activities of the department. Represent credibly, reliably, effectively, and tactfully the Dean to campus and external constituencies with a high level of conceptual and strategic thinking. A strong commitment to clinical care, research, teaching, and public service. A clear commitment to excellence in the education and mentorship of trainees.

As with similar roles, the Chair is expected to abide by UC San Diego's Guidelines for Department Chairs Duties, including in the areas of faculty recruitment, diversity, service, and other policies and regulations.
