The University of Minnesota Department of Medicinal Chemistry invites applications from outstanding candidates for a twelve-month full-time tenured position at the rank of either Associate Professor or Professor. The University seeks applicants with a Ph.D. and a nationally recognized, externally funded research program in x-ray crystallography with particular emphasis on small molecule-macromolecular complexes as applied to structure-based drug design. Prior experience with cancer-related projects is preferred.
This position is under the auspices of the Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics, a state-funded initiative supporting collaborations between the Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota. The successful candidate will interface with a new faculty hire in cancer pharmacology in the Division of Oncology Research and Department of Molecular Pharmacology of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. It is anticipated that the two investigators will serve as focal points for future research collaborations between the Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota. The Department of Medicinal Chemistry is committed to the education and training of scientists of the highest caliber and to providing future pharmacy practitioners with the basis for understanding the relationship between molecular structure and the therapeutic, dispositional, and toxicological aspects of drug action. The department is dedicated to the improvement of human health through chemical and biological research that leads to the formulation of new concepts for the design and development of safe and effective therapeutic, diagnostic and environmental agents. The University of Minnesota offers an exceptional benefits package including excellent medical, dental, disability insurance and faculty retirement programs. A competitive salary and starting package will be offered commensurate with the candidate's experience and skills.
