Recruitment Open for Geroscience Assistant or Associate Full Professor
The Division of Geriatrics, Gerontology, and Palliative Care at the University of California, San Diego, Department of Medicine (http://med.ucsd.edu/) is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body is actively recruiting academic faculty positions in Geriatrics and Palliative Care is seeking candidates for a tenured faculty position, at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor.
The focus of this search is Geroscience, a field that seeks to understand biological mechanisms of aging to develop strategies that can delay the onset of multiple, rather than individual, age-related chronic diseases and conditions. New insights into the biological underpinnings of aging have tremendous potential to impact the development of promising prognostic tools and treatments for age-related conditions. These opportunities require interdisciplinary teams with complementary expertise in translational research, clinical trials, and human cohort studies. Successful candidates will be expected to establish a vigorous program of high-quality externally funded research. Specific focus areas include, but are not limited to: multi-omics, bioinformatics, epigenetics, and biodemography.
Welcome Associate Directors!
We are thrilled to welcome four new associate directors: Maria Rosario (Happy) G. Araneta Ph.D., MPH, Sarah Banks Ph.D., Colin Depp, Ph.D., and Benjamin Smarr, Ph.D.

San Diego Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research
We are pleased to report that the San Diego Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (AD-RCMAR) P30 has been successfully renewed under the leadership of our Interim Director, Dr. Alison Moore. They now have additional funding from the National Institute on Aging for the next five years to provide support and resources for early-career investigators from diverse backgroundscommitted to behavioral and social science research in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and address ADRD inequities through novel research targeting multilevel factors to inform interventions. The Center’s population focus has evolved to be inclusive of groups with disproportionate risks for ADRD and of particular importance here in the San Diego region, including Hispanic/Latino, Limited English Proficiency, and Refugee Communities. The center will continue to benefit from the strong leadership of faculty from both UC San Diego and San Diego State University. We are very excited for all involved who have received this renewed funding!
