Position description
Harris Fishbon Distinguished Professor for Clinical Translational
Research in Aging
The Department of Medicine at the University of California, San
Francisco seeks candidates to serve as the Harris Fishbon
Distinguished Professor for Clinical Translational Research in
Aging. We seek a geriatrician who is a national leader and mentor
in geriatrics and gerontology and is a candidate for appointment as
Associate Professor or Full Professor in the In Residence
(Research) series in the Division of Geriatrics, Department of
Medicine, UCSF. Candidates should be ABIM certified in Geriatric
Medicine and have demonstrated competence in the practice and
teaching of clinical geriatrics.
Background
The Harris Fishbon Distinguished Professorship in Clinical
Translational Research in Aging was established in 2009 with a $2.5
million gift to the University of California San Francisco (UCSF)
from the Dr. Harris M. Fishbon Fund of the Mount Zion Health Fund
and the Jewish Home of San Francisco, now known as the San
Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (SFCJL). This Distinguished
Professorship endowed fund is in the Division of Geriatrics of the
Department of Medicine at UCSF.
The UCSF Division of Geriatrics includes 50 highly collaborative
faculty across the UCSF campuses. Our vision is to optimize aging
and improve well-being across the full spectrum of health and
social circumstance. Our faculty are passionate about aging,
research and mentoring, person-centered care, and changing the
world to be a better place to age. We are looking for a candidate
who shares these passions.
The SFCJL is a nine-acre campus located four miles from the UCSF
Mission Bay campus. It welcomed its first residents in 1891. Its
flagship role is to provide care (long-term care, short stay
rehabilitation, acute psychiatric care, assisted living and memory
care) for vulnerable older adults. SFCJL strives to become
internationally known as a leader in scientific inquiry and
learning to improve the medical and psychosocial well-being of
older adults.
Description of the Professorship and Its Purpose
The Fishbon Distinguished Professor will lead the development of a
clinical research program at UCSF and SFCJL that will improve the
care and health of older persons through the translation of
research findings to clinical benefits in people with conditions
associated with aging.
The Fishbon Distinguished Professor will be a core member of the
UCSF Division of Geriatrics and will participate fully in its
programs, including research, education, mentoring, and
collaborations with colleagues throughout UCSF. The Fishbon
Distinguished Professor's program will be administered by the UCSF
Division of Geriatrics and will be located at SFCJL and the UCSF
Mission Bay campus.
Support
The Fishbon Distinguished Professorship endowed fund provides
annual interest payments each year. The UCSF Division of Geriatrics
will also provide funding for programmatic start-up support of the
Professorship. Funds may be used to support any aspect of the
Fishbon Professor's academic program, including compensation of the
Fishbon Professor, other faculty, fellows or staff; start-up
expenses, including relocation/moving, computer and equipment; and
academic expenses, including meetings and travel. The Division of
Geriatrics will provide grants management (pre-award and
post-award) and assistance in the recruitment and management of
UCSF personnel. The Fishbon Professor will be provided an office at
the UCSF Mission Bay campus in the UCSF Division of Geriatrics to
foster collaborations with UCSF colleagues.
Upon appointment in the In Residence series, the Fishbon Professor
will have access to all rights and benefits of a member of the UCSF
Academic Senate, including University of California loans.
SFCJL provides approximately 1,000 sf for the Fishbon Professor's
research program. The holder of the Distinguished Professorship
will maintain a significant presence at SFCJL to build a premier
research program that also provides opportunities for Jewish Home
residents and staff to engage in cutting-edge research.
