Openings in Berkeley, California

We are currently seeking 2 fellowship-trained Renal Pathologists to support a newly internalized renal pathology program, starting mid-2026. Our program provides an unparalleled clinical experience, supported by collaboration with more than 90 nephrologists who care for a remarkably diverse patient population across our medical centers. The positions will have sign-out responsibility for cases across the region, including light microscopy and immunofluorescence (with outsourced Electron Microscopy). Some portion of sign out in a secondary area will be necessary. Alternatively, opportunities for a reduced schedule exist. There are over 800 native kidney biopsies and 300 transplant biopsies annually.

Other highlights of the position include seamless integration through a unified electronic health record system, a weekly dedicated multi-disciplinary glomerular disease board, and renal pathology education and clinicopathologic case conferences. Together, these experiences foster an academic environment where clinical excellence and teaching thrive.

Beyond the professional opportunities, the San Francisco Bay Area offers an incomparable quality of life with its mild Mediterranean climate, stunning natural beauty from coastal beaches to redwood forests, world-class cultural attractions, diverse culinary scene, and vibrant communities that blend innovation, outdoor recreation, and rich cultural diversity—making this not just an outstanding career opportunity but an exceptional place to build your life.
