[3dem] Tenure-Track faculty position at UT Southwestern Medical Center

[Kapono-BXC]

Dear All,

The Department of Biophysics and the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics
(Green Center for Systems Biology) at The University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center invite applications for a jointly appointed tenure-track
faculty position, primarily at the level of assistant professor, but other
ranks may be considered. Appointment rank will be commensurate with
academic accomplishments and experience.



We seek outstanding candidates who work at the interface of
super-resolution light microscopy and cryoelectron tomography (cryoET). We
are interested in both developers of these cutting-edge technologies and
high-end users focused on important, mechanistic questions in biophysics
and/or cell biology. Ideal candidates will have experience in both
super-resolution light microscopy and cryoelectron microscopy. Successful
candidates will benefit from an infrastructure highly conducive to the
creation of new methods and approaches. In cryoET, they will have access to
a newly purchased Thermo Fisher Aquilos II cryoFIB/SEM equipped with both
internal cryowidefield and external Leica cryo-confocal fluorescence
microscopes, as well as two Titan Krios cryo-electron microscopes with
direct electron detectors, including one with the latest generation cold
field emission gun and Selectris-X energy filter. In light microscopy they
will be embedded in a program with an outstanding track record of
engineering super-resolution, light-sheet and cleared tissue microscopes
that are flexibly designed to address a variety of imaging questions. To
this effect the Green Center for Systems Biology houses ~25 isolated
microscope development bays equipped with optical tables. The Department of
Bioinformatics is responsible for running BioHPC, a high performance
computing and storage facility which is equipped with ~1000 CPU and ~120
GPU nodes connected to 50 PB of storage for on premise data analysis. All
instruments have direct mounts to this computing infrastructure. Besides
offering a home in two vibrant, interactive, and physically neighboring
Departments, UTSW has a highly collaborative and inclusive environment
encompassing the entire spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical
research.



Candidates must have a PhD degree in biomedical imaging or a related
discipline and relevant work experience. The search committee is
particularly interested in candidates who, through their research,
teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence
of the academic community.



Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a concise description of
previous research accomplishments and future plans (3 page limit) to
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jobs.utsouthwestern.edu_&d=DwIBaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=vG2cHrz9bzIfFPFRvhOyOLQ_DRMhgwUjZkdSEttkEHc&s=O5_olZdffC3KYETAk5ZuO4l5APDfCxk7DTAAoDq789Q&e= . Please arrange for referees to send
reference letters to BiophysicsSearch at utsouthwestern.edu. The screening of
applications will begin December 1, 2021 and continue on a rolling basis until
the position is filled. Questions may be emailed to
BiophysicsSearch at UTSouthwestern.edu.
