There are 3 openings at the Assistant Professor level here in the
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Assistant Professor – Structural Biology. The Department of Chemistry
and Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma invites applications
for two tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant
Professor with the earliest possible start date of January 1, 2014.
We are interested in outstanding candidates who incorporate X-ray
crystallographic approaches in an overall structural biology-oriented
research program that focuses on structure-function relationships of
biomedically important macromolecules. Applicants who use other
structural biology tools to complement the X-ray methodology are
welcome to apply. The successful candidate is expected to become an
active member in the NIH-funded Oklahoma Center of Biomedical Research
Excellence (COBRE) in Structural Biology (http://structuralbiology.ou.edu
), which is located in the Stephenson Life Sciences Research Center on
the University of Oklahoma Research Campus. The successful candidate
is expected to establish a productive and externally funded research
program, engage in collaborative activities among COBRE participants,
and contribute to the department’s graduate and undergraduate teaching
missions. The normal teaching expectation is one major course per
semester. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. degree in chemistry,
biochemistry, or a closely related field (postdoctoral experience
preferred) by the appointment start date. Interested individuals
should submit a single PDF file to xraychems...@ou.edu containing the
following: a cover letter describing their interest in this position,
a curriculum vita, a description of research accomplishments and
future research plans (6 page limit), and a statement of teaching
experience and interests. Candidates should also request three
letters of recommendation and have them sent directly to xraychems...@ou.edu
. To ensure full consideration, all application materials should be
submitted as soon as possible, application review will begin September
1, 2013. This position will remain open until filled. The University
of Oklahoma is an equal opportunity institution. www.ou.edu/eoo
Assistant Professor – Structural Biology/Natural Products. The
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank
of Assistant Professor with the earliest possible start date of
January 1, 2014. We are especially interested in applicants with
biochemistry expertise who use macromolecular X-ray crystallography to
investigate drug interactions with biologically relevant targets. The
successful candidate will become an active member in the Oklahoma
Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Structural Biology
(http://structuralbiology.ou.edu) and the Institute for Natural
Products Applications and Research Technologies (INPART). Both units
are located in the Stephenson Life Sciences Research Center on the
University of Oklahoma Research Campus. The successful candidate is
expected to establish a productive and externally funded research
program that involves collaborations among the Structural Biology and
INPART teams, as well as contribute to the department’s graduate and
undergraduate teaching missions; normal teaching expectation is one
major course per semester. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D.
degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or a closely related field
(postdoctoral experience preferred) by the appointment start date.
