[3dem] Tenure Track Faculty Position at the Penn State College of Medicine

[Matt Swulius]

Hello All,

I'd like to bring your attention to a tenure track CryoEM faculty position
available at the Penn State College of Medicine. Please direct any
questions to C&MPhysioSearch at hmc.psu.edu, otherwise apply through the link
below to the PSU Jobs site.

Thank you for your consideration,

Matt Swulius


*Faculty Position in Protein Structure*

The Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology of the Pennsylvania
State University College of Medicine invites applications from outstanding
Ph.D. and/or M.D. scientists for a Tenured or Tenure-Track faculty position
at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor.

The Department has considerable research strengths in basic and
translational approaches toward cellular and molecular physiology.  The
current search is directed toward applicants whose research focuses on
structural biology.  In particular, we seek individuals with special
interests in the structure, assembly and function of membrane proteins,
including channels, transporters, receptors, and the proteins ancillary to
their operation.  The successful applicant will have strengths in cryo-EM
technol­ogy as well as considerable expertise in protein isolation and
purification.  The College of Medicine is building new facilities for
cryo-EM work including installation of an FEI Titan Krios G3i
Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscope system equipped with a Volta phase
plate, Gatan BioQuantum energy filter and K3 direct detector.  This system
complements a second, similarly equipped Krios TEM system recently
installed at the University Park campus and demonstrates the commitment at
Penn State to develop cutting edge facilities for structural analysis.  We
are seeking an early-stage or established investigator with a strong record
of research accomplishment.  The selected candidate will likely have strong
interactions with other investigators in the Department whose research
areas include molecular mechanisms in cell signaling, structure and
function of channels/transporters and diseases related to their function,
regulation of metabolism, redox signaling and mitochondrial dysfunction,
and changes in contractile and structural proteins in disease states.  The
selected individual will complement broader departmental research interests
in cardiovascular, pulmonary and musculoskeletal diseases, diabetes,
diabetic retinopathy, metabolic disorders, cancer and aging.

The Department enjoys strong interactions with the Heart and Vascular
Institute, the Cancer Institute, the Institute for Personalized Medicine,
and the NIH-supported Clinical and Translational Science Institute within
the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.  Applicants with established funded
research programs or who have recently obtained funding to transition into
independent research, are preferred. Promising early stage investigators
with strong records of research accomplishment who have yet to receive
funding will also be considered. Competitive start-up packages, recently
renovated laboratory space, and strong core facilities, together provide an
outstanding research environment.  The Medical Center is a strong community
of health professionals, situated in delightful Hershey PA, with great
schools, excellent housing and close to Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington DC.

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and
statement of research plans within a single pdf document to:
https://psu.jobs/job/76573. Questions may be directed to
C&MPhysioSearch at hmc.psu.edu. Further information about the Department and
the successful and appealing Hershey research environment is provided at
the Department website: www.med.psu.edu/physiology.

*Penn State is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer, and is
committed to providing employment opportunities to all qualified applicants
without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.*
