The successful candidate will have or soon have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and have demonstrated capability relevant to the design and conduct of experiments and a record of research productivity, including first-author publications. The appointment will be initially for two years, with the possibility of reappointment depending on fund availability and productivity. Salary commensurate with negotiated UC Postdoctoral rates.
