Offer Description
Background of the recruitment and description of the project
Mission of Division of Bioscience, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Pharmaceutical sciences integrate diverse disciplines to understand biological functions and diseases at levels ranging from molecules to whole organisms and to develop effective therapeutic interventions. Because the path from biological discovery to clinical evaluation spans multiple biological scales, progress requires the integration of knowledge across these levels. As therapeutic modalities expand beyond small molecules to include antibodies, nucleic acid medicines, gene and cell therapies, pharmaceutical sciences play an increasingly important role in understanding biological mechanisms, identifying therapeutic targets, evaluating efficacy, and developing new therapies.
The Division of Bioscience advances research into biological functions and disease mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal levels, while developing innovative drug discovery strategies and therapeutic modalities in collaboration with the Divisions of Organic Chemistry and Structural Biology.
Overview of the field of recruitment
We are seeking candidates for a Full Professor position in a field that advances pharmaceutical sciences by integrating the life sciences to understand biological phenomena and diseases at levels ranging from molecules to whole organisms, and to develop innovative drug discovery strategies and novel therapeutic modalities. Candidates are expected to have a distinctive research vision and an outstanding track record of research achievements, as well as the ambition and ability to pioneer new directions in life science-based drug discovery. They are also expected to contribute proactively to the advancement of education, research, and university administration.
