DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this proposal is to build a world-class Chemical Biology group at UCSF. Towards that goal, we aim to recruit a new faculty member to strengthen and expand the Chemical Biology group in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at UCSF. Science at the interface between chemistry and biology has been the core strength of our department. The Chemical Biology group at UCSF develops chemical tools and technologies to address critical biological problems involved in health care. UCSF has made a long-term commitment to develop and nurture the Chemical Biology group because of the major impact this field will have on future biomedical science and pharmaceutical applications. The recruitment process will be done using specific university mandated procedures and policies that emphasize a fair and open search to find the most highly qualified individual. Available startup funds for the hiring of new faculty have been severely curtailed due to the recent economic situation. Funds from the state and private donors alike are drying up. Meanwhile, the Dept of Pharmaceutical Chemistry has two open chemical biology positions but lacks start-up funds for these positions. Obtaining start-up funding for junior faculty is critical for us to continue to build a world-class Chemical Biology group here at UCSF.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的长期目标是在加州大学旧金山分校建立一个世界一流的化学生物学小组。为了实现这一目标，我们的目标是招募一名新的教员来加强和扩大加州大学旧金山分校药物化学系的化学生物学小组。化学和生物学交叉领域的科学一直是我们系的核心优势。加州大学旧金山分校的化学生物学小组开发化学工具和技术来解决医疗保健中涉及的关键生物学问题。加州大学旧金山分校长期致力于发展和培育化学生物学小组，因为该领域将对未来的生物医学科学和制药应用产生重大影响。招聘过程将使用特定的大学规定的程序和政策来完成，强调公平和公开的搜索，以找到最合格的人才。由于最近的经济形势，用于聘用新教师的可用启动资金已被严重削减。来自国家和私人捐助者的资金都在枯竭。同时，药物化学系有两个化学生物学职位空缺，但缺乏启动资金。为初级教师获得启动资金对于我们继续在加州大学旧金山分校建立世界一流的化学生物学小组至关重要。
