Metabolomics Position! (We welcome applications from chemical ecologists who use metabolomics in their research)...
The Department of Biology at the University of Nevada Reno (UNR) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Metabolomics. Outstanding candidates are sought whose research utilize novel approaches in metabolomics to address biological questions that complement one or more existing departmental research strengths, including chemical and cellular biology; molecular ecology; behavioral ecology and genetics; interaction ecology; evolutionary biology; neuroscience; and conservation biology. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an innovative, externally funded research program, to contribute to teaching existing biology courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to develop new courses in his/her areas of expertise. UNR offers a highly collaborative research environment, including the Nevada Institute for Chemical Ecology and excellent core facilities in proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, and high-performance computing. A shared instrumentation laboratory offers extensive instrumentation for structure elucidation, including NMR, GC-MS and LC-MS. The Department of Biology is home to 34 faculty, who participate in several interdisciplinary PhD programs, including the Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology and the Cell and Molecular Biology programs. The department is rapidly growing with 5 new faculty recruited within the last two years in the areas of neuroscience, evolutionary and functional genomics, and bioinformatics. The current searches include faculty positions in animal physiology and disease ecology. The application closing date is 12-January-2015.
