Job Details

The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences at UC Irvine invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Structural Biology and Biochemistry with a focus on spectroscopic (e.g., XAS, EPR, NMR, and DNP) and/or computational approaches (e.g., QM/MM, DFT) to investigate enzymatic systems, preferably containing metallocenters. However, qualified candidates in all areas of Enzymatic Structural Biology and Biochemistry are encouraged to apply. Applicants should hold a Ph.D., or M.D. or equivalent degree. The successful candidate is expected to develop an independent and internationally recognized research program and teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
