Biochemistry and Biophysics Faculty at The University of Chicago

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago invites applications for a faculty position, preferably at the assistant professor rank. We seek scientists studying macromolecular dynamics and structure, mechanisms of molecular function and related areas. Appropriate topics include proteins, nucleic acids and their assemblies; membrane proteins; cellular processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes (for example, proteostasis, condensates and immunology); biomolecular design; chemical biology, and computational analysis, among others. Resources include cryoEM and cryoET capabilities (Titan Krios/K3). The University is affiliated with Argonne National Laboratory and the Marine Biological Laboratory.  Rank and tenure status will be commensurate with qualifications.

Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must have a doctoral degree or equivalent. To be considered, those interested must apply through the University of Chicago’s Academic Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: http://apply.interfolio.com/78680.  This web page includes a different link for applying for a tenured position.”Qualifications, required materials, and procedures for applying, which differ for the two postings, are described at these links.
