TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN CELL & DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY, University of North Carolina
The Department of Cell & Developmental Biology and the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at The University of North Carolina, invite applications for tenure/tenure-track faculty positions at the level of Assistant Professor (other levels will also be considered) such as Associate Professor. Research programs in any modern area of cellular, molecular or developmental biology will be considered, but we are particularly interested in those who apply state-of-the-art molecular and biochemical approaches to contemporary problems in cancer biology. These include, but are not limited to, cell cycle regulation, how cellular metabolism interfaces with apoptosis, regulated protein degradation, and signaling.
UNC-CH provides an outstanding environment for interdisciplinary biomedical research with opportunities to interface with basic biological, physical, chemical and computational and clinical scientists. Research strengths within the Department include, but are not limited to, cell migration, membrane biophysics, membrane trafficking, cell signaling, protein quality control, metabolic biology, model genetic systems, cell adhesion, cytoskeleton biology and biochemistry, and reproductive biology. Additionally, UNC’s new Center for Drug Discovery actively works with faculty interested in converting biological and chemical insights into new therapeutics.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D., postdoctoral research experience and an outstanding publication record. Clear evidence of outstanding teaching skills is also required. Women and members of under-represented minority groups are especially encouraged to apply.
