Job Profile: Professor
Job Summary:
The Department of Biochemistry (https://biochem.wisc.edu/) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications for a full-time, 9-month, faculty position. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and its application to biological systems or development of new NMR methods and technology. We welcome candidates committed to democratizing access to NMR through community engagement, outreach, and training in the tradition of the National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison (NMRFAM).
The successful candidate will join a strong and collaborative department with broad and complementary strengths across the biochemical sciences. Current research areas include structural biology, virology, metabolism, gene regulation, cell and molecular biology, chemical biology, biophysics, systems biology, synthetic biology and computational biology. The department fosters a highly interactive environment, with a culture of collaboration and intellectual exchange that supports interdisciplinary research and innovation.
The scientific environment at UW-Madison provides exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration across the biological sciences, engineering, and data science. Faculty benefit from access to state-of-the-art facilities and centers, including the NMRFAM, the UW-Madison Cryo-EM Research Center, and many other advanced resources that support all aspects of biochemistry. The university's collaborative culture and strong cross-disciplinary programs create a uniquely supportive setting for developing innovative and impactful research programs.
The position is an academic (9-month) tenure-track (junior) or tenured (mid-career or senior) faculty position. The successful applicant will be expected to establish an ambitious, externally funded research program and contribute to our core missions of undergraduate and graduate teaching and service.
Key Job Responsibilities:

Additional Information:
NMRFAM has a 40 year history of being at the forefront of biological NMR research in the US. NMRFAM is dedicated to making cutting-edge NMR instruments and methods available to all scientists; to developing new NMR instrumentation, methods and data analysis; and to making NMR accessible to biological science researchers without significant NMR expertise. This mission, namely to make the technology, data analysis, and training available to UW-Madison faculty, staff and students, and researchers from the state of Wisconsin and across the United States, strives to embody the Wisconsin Idea in a format appropriate for this highly advanced technology.
NMRFAM has been very successful in obtaining large NIH and NSF grants for both user program support and technology development. Faculty associated with NMRFAM are expected to contribute to development of new technology, user outreach, and our training mission. Significant investments by the Biochemistry Department, CALS, and our recent NSF award for the 1.1 GHz NMR have greatly increased the solid-state NMR capabilities of NMRFAM. The ideal candidate would have a research focus in this area to make best use of the available instrumentation. They will collaborate with other NMRFAM faculty and staff to lead NMRFAM technology development, keep NMRFAM at the forefront of the field, attract top staff and students, and lead the US biological NMR community.
