Position description

The Office of Research and Innovation https://research.ucsd.edu/ , at the University of California, San Diego, in support of the campus, multidisciplinary Organized Research Units (ORUs) https://research.ucsd.edu/ORU/index.html is conducting an open search for Project Scientists (non-tenured, Assistant, Associate or Full level) in various academic disciplines. Candidates will need to select their Specialization Unit at time of application. At UC San Diego, Project Scientists https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/apm/apm-311.pdf are academic researchers who are expected to make significant and creative contributions to a research team, but are not necessarily leaders of the research team.
They are not required to carry out independent research or develop an independent research reputation but will publish and carry out research or creative programs with supervision by a member of the Professor or Professional Research series. University and public service are encouraged but not required, and they do not have formal teaching responsibilities. Appointments and duration vary depending on the length of the research project and availability of funding.
This academic series is represented by the United Auto Workers of America (UAW) and information about the collective bargaining agreement is available on the UCOP website. https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/labor/bargaining-units/ra/contract.html
