The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry invites
applications for a tenure track faculty position at the Assistant
Professor level. The successful candidate must possess a Ph.D., M.D., or
equivalent degree and have an active research program using structural
methods to address questions of biomedical relevance. We are
particularly interested in candidates that use X-ray crystallography as
their major technique and whose research interests complement existing
departmental programs including, but not limited to the areas of
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuroscience, and cancer. Preference
will be given to candidates with a record of scholarly achievement in
membrane protein structural biology.
The successful candidate will benefit from a stimulating and
collaborative environment within the department and a strong graduate
program. Competitive startup funds and salary as well as access to
state-of-the-art facilities including in-house X-ray crystallography
equipment, access to the SER-CAT beamline at the Advanced Photon Source
in Chicago and appropriate space will be offered in a new 185,000 sq.
ft. research building.
