Job Description:
The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics at University of Illinois College of Medicine is embarking on a new initiative in epigenetics and systems biology. The initiative will involve the recruitment of several senior faculty (tenured Full Professor or Associate Professor) to spearhead the initiative. The areas of expertise we anticipate recruiting include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology and bioinformatics of epigenetic mechanisms as they apply to the investigation of healthy and disease states. The Department has a rich intellectual environment in biomedical research encompassing structural biology, mechanistic biochemistry, membrane biology, control of gene expression, cell cycle regulation, cell metabolism and cancer biology. We intend this new program to provide the nexus of College of Medicine-wide activities in epigenetics, and anticipate close collaborations with scientists in several of our clinical departments. We plan to initially recruit 2 senior investigators. Candidates for senior appointments will be expected to be leaders of active, federally funded research programs, and will play a lead role in subsequent hiring in this area. Attractive recruitment packages and support will be offered. Duties: The primary responsibilities of senior investigators will be to direct or establish and lead a high quality, externally funded research program, They will be expected to publish the results of their research studies in leading scientific journals of their discipline. In addition, the candidates are expected to assist in the education mission of the department and to provide whatever academic service is requested to by the Head of Department. Qualifications: The senior faculty candidates (tenured Full Professor or Associate Professor) should have expertise in biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, structural biology or bioinformatics of epigenetic mechanisms as they apply to the investigation of healthy and disease states. The candidates should be currently funded by federal grants, and hold a tenure track or tenured appointment in their present institution.
