Job Description:
POSITION DESCRIPTION: The Department of Biological at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) invites applications for a non-tenure track Research Assistant Professor in Bioinformatics, focused on proteomics and other mass spectrometry (MS)-related approaches (e.g., metabolomics, lipidomics). The anticipated appointment date is January 2015 or earlier. The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating all bioinformatics activities in the Biomolecule Analysis Core Facility (BACF) (science.utep.edu/bbrc/index.php/core-facilities/biomolecule-analysis-core-facility) at the Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC) (science.utep.edu/bbrc/), Dept. of Biological Sciences (science.utep.edu/biology/), under the supervision of the Core director. The BBRC has assigned priority to research in the areas of infectious diseases, toxicology, cancer, neuroscience, and metabolic disorders. The BBRC has multiple state-of-the-art laboratories and core facilities, including those focused on proteomics, genomics, high-content imaging, bioinformatics, and biostatistics. Major resources at BACF include liquid chromatography-mass-spectrometry (LC-MS) systems, gas chromatography-mass-spectrometer (GC-MS), and surface-plasmon resonance system, among several other analytical instruments. Candidates should have proven experience in bioinformatic analysis of complex proteomic datasets, strong knowledge of biostatistics, experience in curation and storage of large proteomic datasets, advanced computer programing skills, interest in developing new bioinformatic tools for analysis of protein post-translational modifications, potential for extramural funding and for establishing collaborations with BBRC and external investigators, and strong interpersonal skills.
ABOUT UTEP AND EL PASO: Located on the culturally vibrant U.S.-Mexico border, The University of Texas at El Paso is an emerging national research university with more than 23,000 students. The University’s rapidly growing research portfolio in the sciences, engineering, health fields, and other areas brings in more than $83 million per year, ranking UTEP fourth in federal research expenditures among the public universities in Texas. El Paso is a highly livable, bicultural community of 800,000 people, which offers affordable homes and attractive neighborhoods. It is the safest large city in the United States. Shielded by mountains on three sides, El Paso experiences more than 300 days of sunshine annually, and residents enjoy outdoor activities year-round. The city of El Paso is adjacent to both the state of New Mexico and the country of Mexico, making it the nation’s leading area for cultural diversity and border health research. Comprising 248 square miles, El Paso is the sixth largest city in Texas and 19th largest city in the United States. El Paso’s active arts and culture community features the state’s longest running symphony orchestra, a nationally recognized chamber music festival, art galleries, history museums, and a full schedule of seasonal festivals and events. UTEP adds to the arts scene with an award-winning dinner theater, music and dance productions, contemporary and student art galleries, and a natural history museum. For sports fans, the UTEP Miners offer exciting Division I college athletics at Sun Bowl Stadium, the Don Haskins Center, and Kidd Field. Southwest University Park, located in El Paso’s lively downtown, is home to the El Paso Chihuahuas, the San Diego Padres AAA baseball team.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, postdoctoral research experience, and a strong record of research accomplishments in analysis of complex proteomic datasets using bioinformatic tools. Experience or interest in metabolomics and/or other experience in other MS-related approaches (e.g., lipidomics) is desired but not required.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES: Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Candidates should email a single pdf file containing a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, statement of research interest, and complete contact information for at least three references to the following address:
