University of California, Davis

The Department of Food Science and Technology is currently seeking to fill a faculty position, which includes the expectation that the appointee will conduct mission-oriented research and outreach of relevance to the California Agricultural Experiment Station. We seek applications from individuals who have or can establish a strong extramurally funded research program in an advanced contemporary area of chemistry or biochemistry that can be broadly described as impacting food. The research approach will endeavor to produce significant scholarly achievements that impact one or more areas of contemporary food science including food security, quality, safety, health, toxicology, processing-efficiency and food sustainability.

Candidates are expected to have a PhD (or equivalent) and demonstrated ability in chemistry, biochemistry, food science or a related discipline. Postdoctoral experience is highly desirable.

Selection will be based in part on a record of research publications in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals, and the ability to obtain extramural funding. The specific research program will depend upon the expertise and interests of the candidate. The successful applicant will be expected to develop an independent, internationally recognized research program and contribute to the mission of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the California Agricultural Experiment Station (http://caes.ucdavis.edu/facstaff/rmap/aes-overview), teach at the undergraduate and graduate level, and supervise graduate student research.

Applicants should submit online at https://secure.caes.ucdavis.edu/Recruitment a letter of application, curriculum vitae (including list of publications), a statement of research, a separate statement describing teaching interests and background; pfd files of three publications; undergraduate and graduate academic transcripts and names, addresses including e-mail, and telephone numbers of three references. The position is open until filled; but to assure full consideration, completed online applications should be submitted no later than February 1 2013, for a targeted start date of July 1, 2013.
