Dear crystallography community, I wanted to make the community aware of a new tenure-track faculty position at Brown University in structural biology. Details about the position are provided below.
*Structural Biology Faculty Position, Assistant Professor* The Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University announces the opening of a tenure-track faculty position with a start date of July 1, 2013. Qualifications include a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree with relevant postdoctoral research training and a record of excellence in research. The successful applicant will be an experimentalist in the area of X-ray crystallography who will be expected to pursue an independent, externally-funded research program. The applicant should demonstrate a commitment to graduate and undergraduate education, and will have the opportunity to participate in pre-doctoral training programs within the Division of Biology and Medicine and the campus at large. Research space will be provided in a new, state-of-the-art facility with access to X-ray equipment, crystallization robotics, NMR spectrometers and biophysical analysis instrumentation, such as ITC, DSC, CD and mass spectrometry (LTQ Orbitrap), among others. Recent upgrades to the Brown University structural biology infrastructure include new X-ray crystallography instrumentation (Rigaku FR-E+ SuperBright with VariMax-HF ArcSec optics, a Saturn 944 CCD detector and ACTOR robotic crystal mounting system), a BIOSAXS-1000 small angle X-ray scattering instrument, and the addition of an 850 MHz NMR spectrometer. Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae with a complete bibliography, a 3-5 page description of research plans, a 1-page teaching statement and up to 3 representative publications. These materials should be submitted electronically to http://www.interfolio.com/apply/14669. Three confidential reference letters should be submitted separately to the same website (instructions for requesting confidential letters of recommendation are also provided on the same website). Review of applications will commence on *November 1, 2012*, and will continue until the position is filled. Brown University is an equal opportunity (EEO/AA) employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty. It welcomes nominations and applications from minorities, women, and individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds, which would enrich the university's research, teaching and service missions.
