Assistant Professor/Associate Professor, Molecular & Cellular Biosciences

Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation's best urban public research universities. Home to more than 50,000 students, 11,000 faculty and staff and 340,000 alumni, UC combines a Top 35 public research university with a physical setting The New York Times calls "the most ambitious campus design program in the country."

Department OverviewAs one of the oldest medical schools in the country, the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (COM) has a reputation for training best-in-class health care professionals and developing cutting-edge procedures and research that improves the health and clinical care of patients. In partnership with the UC Health academic healthcare system and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, College of Medicine's faculty are transforming the world of medicine every day. The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences is a top-tier department with world-renowned faculty and staff.

Job OverviewThe department is recruiting to fill an open position in one of two focus areas at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank:

The first focus area is aimed at investigating molecular mechanisms of biomolecules using a combination of structural and functional methodologies. The Department is highly motivated to recruit individuals with a primary expertise in Cryo-electron microscopy and whose program will be aligned with the department's three pillars of research. Resources include a state-of-the-art Cryo-EM facility with a designated sample preparation room, Talos L120C TEM, and Glacios cryo-TEM, along with extensive computational resources supported by the Center for Advanced Research Computing (ARC). The recruit will join an existing core of structural biologists with expertise in mentoring junior faculty and be expected to secure extramural funds and maintain a vibrant and innovative research program using Cryo-EM methodology. Salary and rank are commensurate with experience.

The second focus area is aimed at investigating molecular mechanisms of biomolecules using a combination of molecular and cellular approaches. The Department is highly motivated to recruit individuals with a primary expertise in cellular signaling as it relates to human health. It is anticipated that these individuals will synergize with current faculty in areas including but not limited to viral/bacterial pathogenesis, regenerative medicine, neuroscience, inflammation, structural biology, and protein folding disorders. The recruit will join an existing core of molecular and cellular biologists with expertise in mentoring junior faculty and will be expected to secure extramural funds and maintain a vibrant and innovative research program using modern cutting-edge approaches. Salary and rank are commensurate with experience.

The candidates will find that there is a supportive environment in the department and college that provides career and scientific mentoring. The College supports several opportunities for internal grant awards, grant pre-review, recognition of research excellence, and social and scientific forums over the academic year. We seek candidates who will address fundamental basic science questions at the molecular level as they relate to human health and will synergize with current faculty and the Department's research pillars.
