Assistant Professor of Biochemistry University of Wisconsin-Madison: Imaging Molecules




Breakthroughs in the imaging of molecules at increased spatial or temporal resolution have linked classical biochemistry with studies at the cellular and organismal level. The Biochemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (www.biochem.wisc.edu) seeks to hire an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in this area. The successful candidate will utilize state-of-art imaging methods to advance important areas in biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology or physiology. Approaches include but are not limited to: cryo-EM or correlative light-EM; electron tomography; super-resolution, single molecule or light sheet microscopy; atomic force microscopy; imaging with novel fluorescent or optical approaches. We seek individuals who employ these methods to address key issues concerning biological molecules, machines, and structures. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous, extramurally-funded research program, and to participate in teaching in the Department. Attractive recruitment packages include start-up funding, salary support, state-of-art core facilities, exceptional laboratory space, access to vibrant graduate training programs, and a collegial and collaborative environment.




Applicants should submit PDF files of curriculum vitae with summary of research accomplishments, description of future research program and teaching interests, and letters from three references to [hidden email] by October 15, 2014.
Please note: Unless confidentiality is requested in writing, information regarding applicants must be released upon request. Finalists cannot be guaranteed confidentiality. UW-Madison is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
