POSITION DESCRIPTION
Assistant/Associate Professor of Clinical Optometry – School of Optometry
The School of Optometry at the University of California, Berkeley seeks
applications for two Assistant or Associate Professor of Clinical Optometry
positions with expected start dates as early as July 1, 2021. The scope of
this search is broad, encompassing innovative areas of clinical eye and
vision care and includes, but is not limited to, clinical binocular vision
and disorders, glaucoma, low vision, myopia control, and pediatrics.
Applications are being accepted for two full-time faculty positions from
academically qualified clinicians who would be engaged in teaching,
clinical service, creative activities, and University and public service.
Basic Qualifications: At the time of application candidates must have an OD
from an accredited institution (or equivalent international degree), plus
evidence of advanced training or experience post-OD, for example a PhD,
MPH, MSc, peer reviewed publications.
Additional Qualifications: Candidates should have three or more years of
training and/or experience post OD (or equivalent international degree), a
record of active participation and excellence in clinical teaching,
evidence of a high level of competence in a clinical specialty and/or
evidence of a high level of competence in clinical research. Candidates
must have an active optometry license and maintain active licensure
throughout their term of employment. Licensure in California is not a
requirement to practice within the School’s clinics, but is preferred. To
be eligible to work in the clinic, employees must comply with all UC
Berkeley Optometry Clinic annual immunization and medical screening
requirements, trainings, and University and School policies.
The appointee will be expected to teach professional level courses and
actively participate in clinical training and teaching programs in both the
professional (Doctor of Optometry) and graduate (PhD program in Vision
Science) curricula. Activity in the following areas also will be
encouraged: participation in investigations in basic, applied, or clinical
sciences, supervision in residency programs, organization of clinic
training programs, and University and public service. Appointees in the
Professor of Clinical Optometry series are Academic Senate Faculty who may
carry a heavier load of teaching and/or clinical service rather than
research, as compared to appointees in the tenure track Professor series. A
candidate for appointment or advancement in this series shall be judged by
the following criteria: teaching, professional competence and activity,
creative work, and University and public service.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of UC Berkeley. Our
excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who
share our commitment to these values. Successful candidates for our faculty
positions will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and inclusion
through their teaching, clinical practice, research, and/or service.
The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty,
including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in
candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time
off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside
academia.
The School of Optometry (https://optometry.berkeley.edu/) has outstanding
clinical facilities, a large and diverse patient population, a Clinical
Research Center, and many laboratories in the Vision Science graduate
program (https://vision.berkeley.edu/) conducting research in patient based
clinical research, clinical vision science, optics, ocular biology,
molecular and cell biology, perception, visual neuroscience, cognitive
psychology, and computational vision. The successful candidate will also
have opportunities to interact and collaborate with members of the Helen
Wills Neuroscience Institute, Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience,
and the Departments of Bioengineering, Computer Science, Biology and
Psychology, amongst others.
Application materials should be submitted at the following link:
https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF02829
Applicants are required to submit contact information for at least three
letters of recommendation at the time of application. Letters of
recommendation will be requested from those applicants still under
consideration after the initial review of applications. All letters will be

state law. Please refer potential referees, including when letters are
provided via a third party (i.e., dossier service or career center), to the
UC Berkeley statement of confidentiality (

their letters.
The application deadline is April 30, 2021, and all application materials

and early application is encouraged.
