The Department of Biochemistry has the following faculty positions available:

Faculty Position in Structural Biology

The DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS at Washington University School of Medicine invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the area of Structural Biology. Applicants at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be considered. The successful candidate will conduct independent research within a growing department broadly represented in quantitative studies of macromolecular interactions, mechanistic enzymology, molecular dynamics and structure/function relationships (http://www.biochem.wustl.edu). Priority will be given to candidates using multidisciplinary approaches to the study of macromolecular structure and biological function(s). Enthusiasm for teaching and mentoring research trainees is important.

 

Washington University has a highly interactive research environment with vigorous interdisciplinary graduate and medical scientist training programs. Selection of candidates will begin in November 2009. 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 structure-search@biochem.wustl.edu or else by mail to:

Faculty Position in Chemical Biology

 

The DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS at Washington University School of Medicine invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position from candidates using synthetic chemistry as a tool to probe biological systems,. Compatible areas of research include the application of synthetic chemistry methodologies and insights to understanding the regulation of biochemical pathways and cellular physiology, the discovery of new therapeutic targets, and the study of basic mechanisms of biomolecular recognition, catalysis, and protein function. The successful candidate will combine synthetic chemistry methodologies with a strong program in basic biological research. She/he will join a growing department that is broadly represented in experimental and computational studies of protein physical chemistry, structure, and mechanistic enzymology. A state-of-the-art synthetic chemistry facility is under construction that will support and integrate small molecule chemistry with biochemical investigations of macromolecules (http://www.biochem.wustl.edu). The targeted growth of systems biology, nanomaterials research, and biological chemistry on both campuses of Washington University will provide additional opportunities for scientific interactions and collaborations. In addition to a commitment to research, enthusiasm for teaching and mentoring young scientists is also important. Applicants at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be considered.
