Position description The Department of Urban Studies and Planning (USP), at the University of California, San Diego, is conducting an open search for a non-tenured Assistant Project Scientist.
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. Project scientist positions are similar to postdoctoral fellow positions, but carry more responsibilities, a higher salary, and are typically of longer duration. Project Scientists 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 faculty. University and public service are encouraged but not required, and this position does not have formal teaching responsibilities.
Position duties include but not limited to: linking transportation, land use, public health and climate change through the development of research proposals, survey design, spatial sampling and data collection, advanced statistical analysis, manuscript development, and creation of software based simulation tools for policy development and advancement.
Appointment and duration vary depending on the length of the research project and availability of funding.
Recruitment will remain open until filled based on the on-going needs in the USP Department. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
Applications must be submitted to the UCSD on-line application collection system. Applications will not be considered unless submitted through our online system. Qualifications
