Join UCSF’s Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care
We’re seeking faculty to deliver evidence-based, patient-centered care and advance innovation in one of the world’s leading anesthesia departments. At UCSF, we prioritize clinician well-being, teamwork, and continuous improvement through our “True North – Our People” initiative.
We value diversity, equity, and inclusion, reflecting the vibrant communities we serve. You’ll collaborate with over 250 faculty and multidisciplinary teams across five UCSF campuses.
Ideal candidates are committed to high-quality care, education, and patient safety. Responsibilities include teaching, departmental service, and participation in Grand Rounds, M&M conferences, and quality initiatives.
Join UCSF—where excellence, innovation, and compassion shape the future of anesthesia and perioperative medicine.

Why UCSF?
  • World-class clinical exposure with one of the nation’s busiest programs offering unparalleled experience managing complex, high-acuity patients.
  • Culture of excellence and collaboration, where faculty, residents, and fellows work side-by-side in a supportive environment that values teamwork and continuous improvement.
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, reflecting the vibrant communities of the Bay Area and fostering a welcoming environment for clinicians from all backgrounds.
  • Opportunities to lead and innovate in anesthesia through cutting-edge research, teaching, and quality improvement initiatives across five major UCSF campuses.
What We’re Looking For:
  • Board-certified or board-eligible anesthesiologist with strong general OR experience; subspecialty interest in cardiac or pediatric anesthesia is a plus.
  • Comfort managing high-acuity, complex patients and ability to work independently across diverse clinical settings.
  • Flexibility to rotate across multiple UCSF campuses
  • Demonstrated commitment to academic medicine, including teaching residents and medical students, and engaging in quality improvement or research initiatives.
  • Training or experience in large academic or tertiary care environments, ensuring readiness for UCSF’s high-volume, high-complexity case mix.

What We Offer:
  • Faculty appointment in the UCSF School of Medicine (rank and step commensurate with experience).
  • Competitive compensation and UC benefits, including pension and health coverage.
  • Access to premier facilities, cutting-edge technologies, and UCSF’s integrated health system, with care delivered across five major campuses: Parnassus Heights, Zuckerberg San Francisco General, Mount Zion, Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, and Mission Bay.
  • A culture of innovation, teamwork, and academic excellence, working alongside more than 250 faculty, 57 staff physicians, 68 CRNAs, 18 fellows, 96 residents, 32 researchers, and 188 staff members.
  • Opportunities to grow in leadership, education, and research within one of the world’s leading anesthesia departments.
Why Live & Work in San Francisco?
  • Vibrant Neighborhoods – From the charm of Noe Valley and Alamo Square’s Victorians to the waterfront buzz of the Embarcadero, San Francisco offers distinct communities with their own parks, cafes, and character.
  • Dynamic Culture – A city alive with art, music, and diversity, San Francisco celebrates inclusivity through festivals, public art, and a thriving creative scene.
  • Access to Nature – Minutes from beaches, redwoods, and Golden Gate Park, with Napa Valley and Marin trails just a short drive away.
  • Exceptional Food Scene – Home to Michelin-star dining, farmers markets, and global flavors from Chinatown to the Mission—all defined by fresh, coastal ingredients.
