The Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center together with the Department of Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco invite applications for 2 full time faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor levels working in the area of statistical genetics. Eligible candidates may have as their research focus the development of new algorithms for analysis of genetic data of complex disease and/or the implementation of existing algorithms to identify genetic contributions to addictive behavior. The Gallo Institute has a long-standing nationally recognized program aimed at understanding the underlying biological basis of addictive behavior and ultimately leading to better therapies. The Gallo Institute has collected a large number of samples and controls from individuals with different addiction phenotypes. The successful candidates will ideally mine this data including genotypes that have already been generated to make advances in our understanding of the genetics of addiction.

The candidate should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. and relevant postdoctoral research experience. In addition to a faculty appointment, the successful candidates will be eligible for membership in one or more of the graduate programs at UCSF.Applicants should include a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, and the names of four references to:
