The Department of Internal Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine and Bioethics, at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, is recruiting for a full-time physician faculty member in the In-Residence or Clinical X series at the Assistant or Associate rank in General Internal Medicine.

The successful candidate will have a track record of externally funded research in this area and a history of interdisciplinary research collaborations. Candidates at the Associate level will also be passionate about mentoring and teaching junior faculty across multiple specialties or subspecialties. The candidate will be expected to maintain a portfolio of externally funded research. The candidate will be expected to spend about 20% of their time performing clinical duties in the Division. UC Davis encourages applications from candidates with experience or interest in pursuing VA-funded research in this area. Candidates interested in joint appointments with the VA Northern California Health System (UC Davis' VA affiliate) should identify this interest clearly in their initial application. The Division is committed to supporting promising research faculty and providing the necessary resources to position them for success in obtaining external research funding.
