University of California Riverside is the fastest growing campus of UC with a vibrant research environment (including 7 current NAS members and 2 HHMI investigators). Our lab is fully equipped with modern instruments for neurogenetics research and is currently housed in a research building opened in 2011. We have been selected and expected to move into the newest multidisciplinary research building with the most state-of-the-art facility in 2019.
Riverside is a wonderful place to live, providing ample cultural and entertainment opportunities in a safe and comfortable community with affordable housing and living expenses. Riverside is about an hour away from ski slopes, surfing, or hiking in mountain. The city offers all the cultural advantages of any U.S. city, together with the amazing all-year-round weather of sunny Southern California. The campus is also located in a prime position close to other universities, research institutes, and biotech industries present in Southern California.
