Dear Colleagues,

The Vanderbilt Center for Structural Biology (CSB) invites applications for a faculty position at any level (Assistant, Associate, or full Professor) in the area of cryo-electron microscopy.  A Ph.D. or M.D. (or foreign equivalents), along with relevant postdoctoral experience, is required.  Candidates are expected to develop an independent research program using state-of-the-art methods in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy or tomography.  The position includes access to the Center for Structural Biology EM Facility, which houses a Titan Krios/Gatan K3 system, 300 kV FEI Polara/Gatan K2 system, 200 kV FEI F20/Gatan 4k x 4k CCD and Morgagni instruments.
The Center for Structural Biology is a trans-institutional organization that supports structural biology research, education/training, and outreach across the entire life science and medical research communities.  It provides exceptional resources for all experimental and computational structural biology approaches.  This appointment will be in the Basic Sciences Division of the Medical School, which houses four academic departments, eight interdisciplinary centers and institutes, twenty-seven service core facilities, and the Office of Biomedical Research, Education, and Training.  The selection of department will be based on relevance to the candidate’s research interest (Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, or Pharmacology).
