San Diego Biomedical Research Institute

About San Diego BioMed

San Diego BioMed is a non-profit biomedical research institute focused on finding new ways to accelerate medical advances that maintain health and improve quality of life. In September 2021, San Diego BioMed moved to a larger, state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of the San Diego science park area. This setting fosters cooperative partnerships, intellectual exchange, and shared resources within one of the largest concentrations of science, engineering, and medicine in the U.S. A regular internal/external seminar series helps investigators identify overlapping interests, write joint funding proposals, and coordinate research to maximize the impact of discoveries made. With no teaching and minimal administrative duties San Diego BioMed offers the opportunity to focus almost exclusively on independent research.

Position Overview & Funding Requirement

San Diego BioMed invites applications for Assistant, Associate and Full Professor positions. Please note: This is a 100% soft-money position. Candidates must bring active, independent extramural funding (such as an NIH R01, equivalent peer-reviewed federal grants, or major institutional/foundation grants) capable of fully supporting their salary and research program. Institutional salary support is not provided; compensation is paid directly from the candidate's secured grants.

Research Focus & Disciplines

Disease Areas of Preference: Neurological disorders, aging, autoimmunity, vaccine design, and cancer.

  • Disciplines of Preference: Biochemistry, metabolism, and cell/molecular biology (including genomics and proteomics).

Minimum Qualifications

  • Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral-level degree.
  • Established record of independent research accomplishment and high-impact publications.
  • Active, current extramural funding (e.g., NIH or equivalent peer-reviewed awards) as Principal Investigator or Multi-PI.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Salary Range: $135,000 – $228,000 per year.
  • Note on Salary: Because this position is grant-funded, the final salary offered will be commensurate with the successful candidate's academic rank, experience, and the precise salary allocations budgeted within their active grant portfolio, subject to applicable funding agency limits (such as the NIH salary cap).
  • San Diego BioMed offers a competitive benefits package.

How to Apply

Please provide:

  1. Curriculum vitae with a full list of publications.
  2. Statement of research interests, ongoing programs, and future plans.
  3. Detailed funding history and active grant support details.
  4. Names and contact information for three references.
