The Department of Biochemistry has the following faculty positions available:

Faculty Position in NMR Spectroscopy

The DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS at Washington University School of Medicine is looking for outstanding junior or senior faculty who use NMR spectroscopy as their primary tool for studying functional dynamics of biological macromolecules. NMR studies would be augmented with biochemical and biophysical investigations. Areas of special interest include the study of disorder-to-order transitions of natively unfolded proteins, allosteric regulation in enzymes, and dynamics in protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes. The successful candidate will join an interactive group of faculty who apply NMR, computational, and theoretical methods to understand the role of macromolecular dynamics in self-assembly and function. For more information on the Department, please refer to http://biochem.wustl.edu and http://www.ccb.wustl.edu. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, postdoctoral experience, and have demonstrated excellent research qualifications.

 

Applications are due September 1, 2007 for Fall, 2007 interviews. Applicants should provide a CV, summary of research interests, and names of at least three faculty as references. Materials should be sent via email to nmrsearch@biochem.wustl.edu, or by post to:

Faculty Position in Single Molecule Studies

The DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS at Washington University School of Medicine invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position with a research focus in the area of single molecule approaches to study enzyme mechanisms and/or interacting macromolecular systems. Applicants at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be considered. The successful candidate will conduct independent research within a growing department that is broadly represented in quantitative studies of macromolecules, including enzymology, molecular interactions and dynamics, structural and computational biology (http://www.biochem.wustl.edu). Enthusiasm for teaching and mentoring young scientists is also important.

Washington University has a highly interactive research environment with vigorous interdisciplinary graduate and medical scientist training programs. Minority and women scientists are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae, selected reprints, a short summary of future research plans and the names of references electronically to single-molecule-search@biochem.wustl.edu, or else by mail to:
