FACULTY POSITION IN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY 08-24-2009 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 (http://www.oumedicine.com/body.cfm?id=3851), 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 biochemsea...@ouhsc.edu. Inquiries can be directed to Karla Rodgers or to any member of the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology faculty. OUHSC is an equal opportunity employer
