Biology and Biochemistry

Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor - CNRCS - Cell Signalling - Tenure-Track

Description:

The Center for Nuclear Receptors and Cell Signaling (CNRCS) in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Houston invites applications for all faculty ranks of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor.

Applicants with special interests and a record of accomplishment in neurobiology, nuclear receptors and the immune system, or systems biology of cell signaling are encouraged to respond.

We also will consider outstanding investigators working in other areas that are relevant to the goals of CNRCS. Successful applicants will complement existing departmental strengths in neuroscience, developmental biology, cell and molecular biology and the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. We are especially interested in recruiting mid-career and senior level investigators with active externally funded research programs.

The position requires a Ph.D., M.D. or D.V.M. and significant relevant faculty or industry experience. Center faculty members are expected to maintain nationally competitive externally funded research programs and to participate in graduate and undergraduate teaching.

CNRCS has state-of-the-art laboratory space, well-equipped core facilities and broad opportunities for research collaborations within the University of Houston as well as with other member institutions of the Texas Medical Center.

The scientific environment at the University of Houston is excellent, especially in areas such as neurobiology, structural biology, computational life sciences and bioinformatics, and we envision that this new appointment, CNRCS will become a model for interdisciplinary research into the structure and function of nuclear receptors and of cell signaling.

Application Procedures:

Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, research plan and cover letter to: cellsignaling@uh.edu.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received until the position has been filled.

Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action:

The University of Houston is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Minorities, women, veterans, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
