<b>Tenure-Track Structural Biology / Imaging Faculty Position in
Conjunction with the Interdisciplinary Biomolecular Imaging Cluster
Hiring Initiative</b></p><p>
The Department of Pharmacological Sciences (<a href="http://www.pharm.stonybrook.edu/faculty_research/overview" target="_blank">http://www.pharm.stonybrook.edu/faculty_research/overview</a>)
at Stony Brook University seeks applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the level of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor.
Candidates must have an M.D. and/or Ph.D., at least two years of
postgraduate research experience, and an outstanding record of research
accomplishment. This search is intended to recruit investigators with
translational research programs that make use of <u>NMR, Cryo-EM, or
positron emission tomography (PET) coupled with radiotracer synthesis
approaches</u> to pursue fundamental questions relevant to health-connected
fields such as cancer, neuroscience, metabolism, and infectious disease.
Senior candidates should also have a record of success with extramural
funding and training of students and/or fellows. Applicants must be
eligible for a faculty appointment in accordance with the criteria
established by the School of Medicine (Criteria for Appointment,
Promotion and Tenure.)</p><p>
The Department has pre-doctoral and MSTP training grants, a broad
infrastructure for research investigation, and newly renovated lab space
housing structural biologists with expertise in NMR and x-ray
crystallography. Additional structural biologists and PET imagers are
found in the Departments of Biochemistry, Physiology, Chemistry, and
Microbiology. With the on-going NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant awarded to
the University and the recent and largest gift ever to public higher
education in the State of New York, Stony Brook University is embarking
on a transformational expansion of the biomedical research enterprise.
Diverse opportunities for collaborative research on campus include the
Cancer Center, the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology,
the Center for Structural Biology, the Institute for Chemical Biology
and Drug Discovery, and the interactive Computer Science and Applied
Mathematics Departments.</p><p>
Imaging biological molecules is key to understanding their function,
providing a starting point for rational drug design and protein
engineering. Stony Brook University is becoming a leader in biomolecular
imaging through its newly-upgraded high-field NMR facilities including
Bruker 700MHz and 850 MHz instruments with cryogenic probes, a strong
program in computational structural and physical biology, world-class
computational resources, facilities for radiotracer synthesis and human
imaging, and proximity to the new third-generation synchrotron facility
at Brookhaven National Lab (NSLS-II). The Biomolecular Imaging Cluster
has already recruited junior faculty with expertise in super-resolution
microscopy and x-ray crystallography.</p><p>
Stony Brook University, home to many highly-ranked graduate research
programs, is located 60 miles from New York City on Long Island's scenic
North Shore. Our 1,100-acre campus has more than 24,000 undergraduate,
graduate, and doctoral students and 13,500 faculty and staff. The
University is a member of the prestigious Association of American
Universities and co-manager of the nearby Brookhaven National
Laboratory, a multidisciplinary research laboratory supporting
world-class scientific programs utilizing state-of-the-art facilities.
Stony Brook University is also located close to the Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory with which it interacts through graduate program training and
faculty collaborations.</p><p>
