The Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, University of California, Davis, is recruiting for one full-time Anesthesiology Clinical Researcher/Professor as an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in the Regular Professor series.

The department includes clinical research coordinators (CRCs) who assist with IRB submissions, consent acquisition, and data analysis. Support for grant writing, staffing, and funding will be assessed on an individual basis.

Additional responsibilities include clinical education of medical students, residents and fellows. The successful candidate is expected to provide service to department, school and campus committees. Additional expectations include ability to foster collegiality and work collaboratively in a diverse environment, and ability to adhere to University policies and procedures.

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, welcoming, and inclusive environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment, UC Davis conducts a reference check on all first choice candidates for Academic Senate Assistant Professor, Steps 4, 5, or 6. The reference check involves contacting administration of the applicant’s previous institution(s) to ask whether there have been substantial findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UC Davis requires all applicants for any open search for assistant professor to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled "Authorization to Release Information" into Recruit as part of their application. If the candidate does not include the signed authorization with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists considered for Academic Senate Assistant Professor, Steps 4, 5, or 6 will be subject to reference checks.
