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
Cryo-EM to pursue fundamental questions relevant to health-connected
fields such as cancer, neuroscience, metabolism, and infectious disease.
Senior candidates should 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.)
<br><br> 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. Many of the faculty use EM and Super-Resolution
microscopy approaches, and additional structural biologists and imagers
are found in the Departments of Biochemistry, Physiology, Chemistry,
Microbiology, Neurobiology, and Biomedical Engineering. 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.
<br><br> Imaging biological molecules is key to understanding their
function, providing a starting point for rational drug design and
protein engineering. Stony Brook University (SBU) 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 x-ray crystallography and in super-resolution
microscopy to add to our recent NIH-funded purchase of SIM and STORM
instrumentation. <b>Most relevant to this recruitment, SBU received this
year a $2M Shared Instrumentation award from NIH to obtain a
state-of-the-art 200 kV Talos cryo-EM microscope and detector that will
be installed and go live in Spring, 2016.
</b><br><br> 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.<br><br> To apply, use Academic Jobs Online (<a href="https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5904">https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5904</a>)
to submit a State employment application, a complete curriculum vitae
including publications, and a 3-page proposed research plan of current
and future research, and have three letters of recommendation submitted
through the AJO site. The cover letter should indicate whether the
applicant wishes to be considered for appointment at the Assistant,
Associate, or Full Professor level. Applicants at the Associate or Full
Professor level should add a summary of past and current research
funding and administrative and teaching experiences. <b><i>Electronic submission through AJO is required</i>.</b>
