Assistant Professors — Tenure Track
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine
and College of Science and Mathematics
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology invites applications from outstanding candidates for two faculty positions at the assistant professor level. This is the first wave of a faculty expansion following the department’s recent move into the Matthew O. Diggs III Laboratory for Life Sciences. These are tenure-track, nine-month appointments with competitive startup packages and the opportunity to occupy state-of-the-art research space. Applicants must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree, two or more years of postdoctoral experience and research interests that align with one of the position descriptions below. Applicants are expected to establish funded, independent research programs and participate in collaborative projects with current faculty. Candidates with research interests that build on existing departmental strengths are particularly encouraged to apply.
The department currently consists of 10 full-time faculty actively engaged in research in the areas of molecular genetics and biochemistry. Specific descriptions of the research interests desired for each position are:
Position 08Y-MG: Assistant Professor in Molecular Genetics: The research interests of the successful applicant will intersect with those of present faculty studying the regulation of gene expression (Kadakia, Paietta, Paliy), oncogenesis (Berberich), genomics (Markey), or DNA replication and genome instability (Leffak, Liu).
Position 08Y-BCH: Assistant Professor in Biochemistry: The research interests of the successful candidate will intersect with those of current faculty involving molecular bioenergetics (Prochaska, Fleischman), metabolomics (Reo), or the molecular basis of protein function (Alter).
Please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a focused research plan, and the names and contact information for three references to: Dr. Steven Berberich, Chair, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Wright State University, 3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy., Dayton, OH 45435. Indicate in your cover letter the position for which you wish to be considered. Candidates from groups underrepresented in academic science are strongly encouraged to apply. Review of applications will begin on March 10, 2008, and continue until the positions are filled.
