The Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology at the
University of California, Santa Cruz invites
applications for a tenure-track faculty position. We seek candidates
whose research centers on fundamental problems
involving the biological roles of RNA. This person's research will
expand and complement our existing RNA research
areas which include RNA processing, ribosomes, catalytic RNA,
genomics, computational biology, ribonucleoprotein
assembly, RNA stability, RNA-protein interactions, and the use of
cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography
to study RNA and ribonucleoprotein complex structure. Research space
is located within the MCD Biology Department
in Sinsheimer Laboratories. The successful candidate will be
associated with the Center for Molecular Biology of RNA.
The RNA Center provides a collaborative research atmosphere with a
broad range of interests. More information about
the Center for Molecular Biology of RNA can be found at http://
rna.ucsc.edu/rnacenter/ . The successful candidate will
also have an opportunity to interact with faculty doing related
research in the departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry
and Biomolecular Engineering, facilitated by the Center for
Biomolecular Science & Engineering and the Stem Cell
Facility.
This appointment will be made at the Assistant Professor level. The
successful candidate will be expected to establish a
vigorous, externally-funded research program, contribute to the
intellectual vitality of the MCD Biology department,
and teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We offer an
interactive research environment, a strong modern
infrastructure, and a competitive startup package. Colleagues who can
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the
academic community through their research, teaching, service and/or
leadership are particularly encouraged to apply.
