Job Opportunities

UCSF has several job titles/positions for postbac scholars.  These include:

  • Junior Specialist (or Assistant Specialist for scholars with more research experience)
  • Staff Research Associate
  • Research Associate
  • Clinical Research Coordinator (best suited for scholars with clinical aspirations, i.e. MD/PhD-bound scholars)

The job postings in the accordion below are for positions in PROPEL-affiliated labs.  We recommend mentioning your interest in the PROPEL program in your cover letter when you apply to these positions.

For additional job postings (in both PROPEL and non-PROPEL affiliated labs) please search APrecruit using the keyword "junior" to pull up all junior specialist related positions.  You can also search Brassring using the keyword "Staff Research Associate" or "Clinical Research Coordinator" (full time). The Gladstone is a UCSF affiliate institute located at Mission Bay.  When searching the Gladstone Institute Career Page, look for "Research Associate" job postings. 

PROPEL is a very large program, so we still recommend mentioning your interest in PROPEL in your cover letter to these non-PROPEL affiliated faculty* as it may still hold some sway. (*Any UCSF faculty can become PROPEL affiliated once they hire an eligible scholar and apply to the program.)

UCSF PROPEL is also proud to partner with other postbac programs at other universities.  See our list of partners here for additional opportunities.
