[3dem] CryoEM Faculty Position at UC Riverside

[Richard Debus]

Dear Colleagues,



The Department of Biochemistry at the University of California, Riverside
is advertising for an Associate or Full Professor who applies Cryo-Electron
Microscopy (Cryo-EM) to problems of fundamental biological and biomedical
importance.  UCR is establishing a new CryoEM facility within an existing
Central Facility for Advanced Microscopy and Microanalysis (CFAMM) (
https://cfamm.ucr.edu/) and is looking for an outstanding candidate to lead
this endeavor (please see attached).   This individual, as a UC faculty
member, would have access to the 300 kV instrument at UCLA via the
UCLA-based regional consortium for high resolution cryoEM (
www.eicn.ucla.edu/wmc) as well as the 200kV facility we are setting up here
at UCR.



The successful candidate will join an established department with several
new faculty, a vibrant undergraduate major and strong graduate program (
https://biochemistry.ucr.edu/), and will help recruit an Assistant
Professor who uses CryoEM in the following year.



Opportunities for synergy are available with a number of other units on
campus including a Bioengineering program (https://www.bioeng.ucr.edu/), a
new 4-year medical school at UCR (https://medschool.ucr.edu/), the
Interdisciplinary Center for Quantitative Modeling in Biology (
https://cmich004.github.io/biomath/), and several interdepartmental
graduate programs (including a new graduate program in Biophysics) within
the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (https://cnas.ucr.edu/).



The UCR campus, with over 23,000 students and one of the most diverse
populations in the country (https://www.ucr.edu/), is located in Riverside,
home to the national historic landmark Mission Inn (
https://www.missioninn.com/). Riverside, with year round sunshine, is
within an hours' drive of the beach, mountains and desert and has some of
the most affordable housing within Southern California. It is located
within a two hour’s drive of three other UC campuses (UCI, UCLA, UCSD) as
well as Caltech, University of Southern California and the City of Hope.



Would you please circulate the attached notification to potentially
interested colleagues?



Many thanks!



Sincerely,



Richard J. Debus, Chair

Physical Biochemistry/CryoEM Search Committee
