Assistant or Associate Professor in Structural Biology

The Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo invites applications for two faculty positions in the Department of Structural Biology at the level of Assistant and Associate Professor. Successful applicants will lead productive, independent research programs that utilize structural, biochemical and computational approaches to solve fundamental problems in biology and medicine. A significant interest will be on recruiting faculty that add experimental and computational expertise in methodologies, including computational structural biology and cryo electron microscopy, that both enhance and complement existing strengths within the department and whose research programs cross departmental boundaries. All candidates will: possess a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree, with at least two years of post-doctoral research experience; be expected to establish and/or maintain an on-site extramurally-funded and productive research program; be committed to teach and train a diverse student body; and assume various administrative responsibilities within the department.

Only applications and documents submitted via the UBJobs website will be considered.
