Cryo-Electron Microscopy Faculty Recruitment
The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at University of California, Davis (http://www.mcb.ucdavis.edu/) invites applications for a faculty position in Cryo-Electron Microscopy at the assistant (tenure-track), associate or full professor level. We seek candidates with exceptional research achievements that have the ability to develop a cutting-edge and well-funded independent research program and that show a commitment to excellence in research and education. Candidates should have a Ph.D. and postdoctoral experience.
The applicant’s research program should involve the application of cryo-electron microscopy to address novel structural questions relating to biochemistry, membrane biology, cell biology, molecular biology, neurobiology, microbiology, or other fields. A method development component in a biological research program is also welcomed. This position will be housed the Briggs building, which has a state-of-the-art electron microscopy facility. Current equipment includes several TEMs, among them a JEM-3000SFF (300kV FEG, helium cooled top-entry stage), a JEM-2100F (200kV FEG (S)TEM with 4k CCD), an aberration-corrected JEM-2100F (200kV FEG, probe-corrected (S)TEM with GIF), and a JEM1230. All are cryo-EM capable, the latter three offer electron tomography data collection. For detailed information, please contact Jon Scholey, MCB (jmscholey@ucdavis.edu) or Nigel Browning, CHMS (nbrowning@ucdavis.edu).
Candidates should submit the following items online (see link above). A curriculum vitae, a 1-2 page summary of research accomplishments, a 1-2 page description of future research plans, copies of one to three major publications, and a statement of teaching experience and/or interest. Candidates should also arrange for three letters of recommendations to be submitted online at the same website address.
This search will remain open until filled. However, applications should be received by October 15, 2009 for full consideration.
