3 Senior Faculty in Cryo Electron Microscopy, X-ray Crystallography, and
NMR
Sealy Center for Structural Biology & Molecular Biophysics
UTMB Health seeks senior faculty applicants in structural biology in
the Sealy Center for Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics
(SCSBMB). The Center supports a graduate program in molecular biophysics
and five well-run core laboratories in Cryo-EM, NMR, X-ray, Computation
and Solution Biophysics, each with an excellent PhD-level manager. For
details see: http://www.scsb.utmb.edu
The successful candidate must be a highly motivated individual with a
PhD or MD degree, a strong publication record, and a record of
independent well-funded grant support. The ideal candidate will have
extensive experience in their specialty applied to the study of the
structure, novel mechanisms, and functions of bio-macromolecules.
Candidates for positions in either the department of Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology or Pharmacology and Toxicology should also have or
seek overlap with the highly collaborative established biomedical
research community in UTMB’s basic science departments, and centers and
programs of excellence such as the Institute for Human Infection and
Immunity, the Galveston National Laboratory, the Center for Tropical
Diseases, the Institute for Translational Sciences, the Sealy Center for
Cancer Cell Biology, the Sealy Center for Environmental Health and
Medicine, the Sealy Center on Aging, the George P. and Cynthia Woods
Mitchell Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, the Moody center for
Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research, the Sealy Center for Molecular
Medicine and the Chemical Biology Program. These and other entities
provide a wide variety of core services, in recombinant DNA, genomics,
proteomics, high-throughput drug screening, mass spectrometry, membrane
protein crystallization, and protein expression and purification.
Excellent collaborative opportunities also exist through UTMB’s
participation in the Gulf Coast Consortia and the Keck Center for
Interdisciplinary Bioscience

views of science are ultimate; that there are no mysteries in nature; that our
triumphs are complete, and that there are no new worlds to conquer." - Humphry
