<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk109587419"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Department of Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Genetics at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS), part of the Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences
(RBHS), is recruiting tenure-track faculty (Assistant, Associate, or full Professor) in all aspects of biology, including research in the areas of structural biology, microbial pathogenesis, molecular genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry. Recruited faculty
are expected to establish an innovative, independent, and collaborative research program that complements and continues to expand programs in basic and translational research at RBHS. Interdisciplinary approaches will be fostered in part by joint appointments
within the Center for Immunity and Inflammation (CII), the Center for Cell Signaling (CCS), at Rutgers-NJMS, and Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine at Rutgers University (iQB@R). Candidates are expected to contribute to the Medical School and Graduate
School teaching programs in their area of expertise. The department is housed in the International Center for Public Health (ICPH), along with the Public Health Research Institute (PHRI) and the Center for Emerging Pathogens. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School
is located in Newark, New Jersey, 20 min away from New York City.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk109587419"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">A new Cryo-EM suite, located within the Department, is equipped with a 100kV Tundra microscope and speed-enhanced Ceta-F camera, and a Vitrobot Mark IV for sample preparation.
In addition, we have access to additional Rutgers Cryo-EM and Cryo-ET instrumentation, including a 200kV Talos Arctica microscope, an Aquilos 2 FIB-SEM microscope, and a Leica Cryo-CLEM system located in the Rutgers-Piscataway, NJ campus.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk109587419"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Qualified candidates must have a doctoral degree (MD, PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent), outstanding academic credentials, and have completed competitive postdoctoral training
with a strong publication history in the areas of structural biology, microbial pathogenesis, molecular genetics, microbiology, or biochemistry. In addition, applicants must have demonstrated potential to obtain extramural funding for basic or translational
research. Rank will be commensurate with experience. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The recently announced extension of the Rutgers Faculty Diversity Hiring Initiative highlights Rutgers’ financial commitment to attracting and retaining a world-class
faculty that embodies our dedication to diversity and inclusion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
