FACULTY
POSITION IN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY
09-09-2009
Department of
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center,
Oklahoma City
The Department
of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology in the College of Medicine at the
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) is seeking tenure
track/tenured faculty, with the current open position for an individual with
research interests that involve crystallography or other aspects of structural
biology.
Current
faculty members (http://www.oumedicine.com/body.cfm?id=3851) have diverse
research programs that all converge with the common goal of developing a
mechanistic understanding of cellular functions. We are seeking new colleagues
who have, or will develop, independent research programs in biomedical research
and who will participate in graduate training and professional student
education. We are especially interested in individuals whose research interests
mesh with the OUHSC Strategic Plan, which has emphasis in cancer, diabetes, and
infectious diseases.
Candidates
must hold a doctoral or equivalent degree in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Molecular
Cell Biology or a related field and have a strong record of research
accomplishment. We also seek evidence of excellence in teaching/presentation
skills.
The OUHSC
campus is highly interactive and provides collaborative opportunities with
clinical departments, the OU Cancer Institute, the Oklahoma Diabetes Center,
the Oklahoma Center for Medical Glycobiology, and other researchers in a cohort
of strong basic science departments. Further collaborative opportunities exist
at the adjacent Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), 20 miles south at
the OU Norman campus, and across the six macromolecular X-ray facilities and
~20 structural biology research groups in Oklahoma. The Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides excellent shared facilities for
protein crystallography, mass spectrometry, biophysical studies and
glycobiology, while many other Core facilities are available on campus and at
the OMRF.
Review of applications
will begin September 15, 2009, and continue until the position is filled.
Please submit, in electronic form, a curriculum vitae, a brief statement of
research accomplishments, research interests, future plans, and teaching
philosophy, 2-3 publications and the names of 3 individuals from whom reference
letters can be solicited.
Applications
should be sent by email to
Dr Karla
Rodgers, Chair, BMB Faculty Search Committee
Inquiries can
be directed to Karla Rodgers or to any member of the Biochemistry &
Molecular Biology faculty.
