The UC Davis Department of Pharmacology is in the midst of rapid and vigorous growth, as part of a major expansion of the basic biomedical sciences in the School of Medicine.  Research in the Department of Pharmacology includes a broad range of experimental approaches, bringing together an outstanding group of faculty with expertise in the biochemical, molecular, and cellular aspects of modern pharmacology.  The research in the department can be organized into two highly interrelated areas that include:  1) characterizing the mechanisms by which information is transferred from the environment to the nucleus and 2) developing methods and reagents that will interfere with or enhance the information transfer.  For information concerning current departmental projects in each of these areas, see our Research Overview. 

Dr. Donald Bers joins UC Davis in April from Loyola University Chicago, where he was Professor and Chair since 1992.  He is an internationally renowned scientist with over 250 publications, of which his research program focuses on cellular and molecular factors involved in the control of cardiac muscle contraction, particularly as modulated by intracellular calcium.

As part of this exciting recruitment,  the Department of Pharmacology is pleased to announce  two to four  full-time academic tenure track position(s) at the Assistant/Associate/Full Professor level.
