Positions in Molecular Recognition in Biological Systems and Bioinformatics
The University at Buffalo’s strategic planning process, UB2020, has identified Bioinformatics and Molecular Recognition in Biological Systems as areas where substantial growth and the future investment of resources will take place over the coming years. Please check the UB Jobs Web site for a current listing of available positions within this strategic strength.
Position Descriptions
Positions may become available at all ranks in the schools of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dental Medicine, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering and Applied Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo with concomitant appointment in the New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences. Successful candidates will have research interests in bioinformatics and/or molecular recognition, in areas such as computational biology, chemical biology, signal transduction, and analysis of biological networks using experimental approaches ranging from in silico through in vivo, and will receive tenured or tenure-track appointments in departments appropriate to their interests. These include, but are not limited to, biochemistry, biological sciences, chemical and biological engineering, chemistry, microbiology and immunology, oral biology, pharmacology and toxicology, physiology and biophysics, and structural biology. A history of collaborative research will be a key consideration in evaluation of applicants for senior positions, as will their potential to provide academic leadership. Additional information on departmental programs may be obtained on specific home pages, accessible via www.buffalo.edu or at www.bioinformatics.buffalo.edu.
State-of-the-Art-Facilities
Ample laboratory space exists within all participating departments as well as in the new Center of Excellence building, which opened in June 2006 and is situated adjacent to the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute for structural biology and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The center maintains a modern, state-of-the-art experimental infrastructure in biomedical sciences, and houses major computational facilities and a high-quality confocal microscopy. Cutting-edge genomics and proteomics facilities are located within and adjacent to the center, as well as on the two local campuses of the University at Buffalo.
Candidate Requirements
Please check the UB Jobs Web site for a current listing of available positions within this strategic strength. For senior candidates, a well-established research program is essential. Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should have a PhD, MD, DVM, DDS, or equivalent degree with appropriate postdoctoral and professional experience. Research experience should be in molecular, cellular, chemical, genetic and/or computational approaches to signaling networks, molecular/microbial pathogenesis, development and differentiation or the basis of human disease.
The University at Buffalo is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer/recruiter.
