Position in Structural Biology

[Michael Dahmus]

Dear Colleague,

The Section of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of
California, Davis, is currently conducting a search for faculty in the area
of structural biology.  The position can be filled at any level, Assistant,
Associate or Full Professor.  We would greatly appreciate your bringing
this opportunity and the enclosed advertisement to the attention of
potential candidates.

In conjunction with the Department of Chemistry, this Section has
established an excellent core group of structural biologists working at the
level of atomic resolution.  We wish to build upon this progress and
complement our existing strengths by recruiting individuals who are
investigating fundamental problems in biology at the next higher level of
structure, including supramolecular assemblies.  Of special interest are
candidates who may also use novel approaches in imaging, such as
high-resolution optical imaging, cryo EM, AFM, and single molecule
dynamics.  The breadth of research in this Section and of biology on the
Davis campus provides an excellent intellectual environment to develop such
a program.  The administration is fully committed to support this
initiative.  Therefore, we believe that this is a unique opportunity either
for a beginning investigator to develop an independent career or for an
established investigator to continue his/her career.

Sincerely,

Michael Dahmus, Chair
Section of Molecular and Cellular Biology


STRUCTURAL BIOLOGIST


The Section of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Division of Biological
Sciences, University of California, Davis, invites applications for
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OR PROFESSOR. The Section of
Molecular and Cellular Biology, in collaboration with the Department of
Chemistry, has recently established an excellent group of independent
investigators in x-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy who are
supported by state-of-the art core facilities for structural biology and
protein expression as part of the W. M. Keck Center for Structural Biology.
The Section wishes to build upon this progress by recruiting individuals
who are investigating fundamental problems in biology at the next higher
level of structure, including supramolecular assemblies, and who may also
use novel approaches in imaging, such as high resolution optical imaging,
cryo EM, AFM, and single molecule dynamics. The assistant professorship is
tenure track; appointment at either the associate professor or professor
level confers tenure.  The position is in the Section of Molecular and
Cellular Biology. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) and have an
outstanding record of achievement in research.  Candidates for tenured
appointment must have an established research program of exceptional
quality whereas candidates at the assistant professor level must
demonstrate potential for the development of a strong research program in
structural biology. Successful candidates will be expected to teach
biochemistry/molecular and/or cellular biology.  Candidates should submit a
curriculum vitae, a statement of current and proposed research and arrange
to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Chair, Structural Biology
Search Committee, Section of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Division of
Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA  95616-8519.
Closing date: open until filled but all application materials including
letters of recommendation must be received before November 1, 2001 to be
assured of full consideration.

The University of California, Davis, is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the
development of a climate that supports equality of opportunity and respect
for differences.
