The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biotechnology at the
University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School seeks applicants for a
tenured or tenure track faculty position. Our faculty is committed to
tackling significant biological questions at a molecular level, with
research programs spanning a broad range of topics. In this new period
of growth, we are recruiting faculty members working to elucidate
important biological mechanisms, placing special emphasis on integrative
methods and research using the physical sciences (physics, chemistry,
math and engineering) to solve fundamental molecular problems in
biology. We are an interactive group who encourages research at the
interface of multiple disciplines, the development of enabling
technologies, and team science. More information about the department
can be found on our website, https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.umassmed.edu/bmb__;!!Mih3wA!GPq-2z7TAqOvDpibzlVO_AixJ2HT3gzTQlluoQ0G7BL-Ush7NBAokdlWcZ4Rni4Goy3Mut_HZA7z-ZjoGA$ .
We are searching for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual,
committed to diversity, creativity, and collaboration, to join our team
of actively engaged faculty. The successful candidate will develop and
lead an internationally-recognized extramurally-funded research program,
contribute to our missions of education, inclusion and service, and play
an active role in the Department as we expand in a new phase of growth.
Qualified applicants will have earned a Ph.D. in a life or physical
science discipline and have a demonstrated track record of outstanding
accomplishment. Applicants of all academic ranks with a strong
commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusivity are encouraged to apply.
We are especially eager to consider applicants who will support and

perspectives, and backgrounds.
The Department is housed on two floors of a modern, well-equipped,
340,000 sq ft research building on a rapidly expanding Medical School
campus. Core facilities within our department include world class
cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, small
molecule screening, structure-based drug design and mass spectrometry.
Additional core facilities, including proteomics, genotyping,
fluorescence-activated cell sorting, microscopy/imaging, deep
sequencing, genomics/bioinformatics, transgenic/knockout mice, and
metabolic phenotyping, are available. More information about core
facilities on campus may be found online, https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.umassmed.edu/research/cores__;!!Mih3wA!GPq-2z7TAqOvDpibzlVO_AixJ2HT3gzTQlluoQ0G7BL-Ush7NBAokdlWcZ4Rni4Goy3Mut_HZA6eMeDQjw$ .
The University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School is a world-class
public research institution located in the heart of New England.
Worcester is the second largest city in New England, providing a rich
and diverse environment with thriving art, music, dining and cultural
scenes. Worcester is also nestled in the center of New England farm
country, between the New England coast and the Appalachian Mountains,
providing access to a myriad of settings for outdoor activities,
including beaches, woods, lakes, farms and mountains. Our region offers
a broad range of excellent primary and secondary schools, as well as a
range of highly regarded colleges, including Clark University, The
College of the Holy Cross, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The area
boasts a variety of affordable housing options from newly renovated
condominiums and gracious Victorian homes in historic Worcester to
neighborhoods in small- town New England and rural farm houses. And
Worcester’s central location provides easy access to the major travel
hubs of Boston and Providence. The newly constructed Polar Park is home
to the Woo Sox, the minor league AAA partner to the Boston Red Sox,
contributing to a revitalization of the city that has resulted in
numerous new restaurants, breweries, theater groups and concert venues,
and rapid growth in real estate.
Application Procedure
In order to ensure a fair assessment of applications and to mitigate
unconscious bias, we ask applicants to submit an anonymized statement of

qualifications but should not include the names of any researchers who
performed the work, institutions where the work was done, funding
organizations, or include references to their publications.

[do something amazing]. I used this to discover [important finding].
Applications will be reviewed in two stages: round one will be a review
of the anonymized research plan. The second round will be a full review
of all materials submitted. Please submit all requested documents
together. The non-anonymous materials will be separated before any
documents are seen by the review committee.
The following application materials should be submitted via
