Assistant Professor/Associate Professor, Molecular & Cellular Biosciences

Job Overview

Continued

The second focus area is aimed at investigating molecular mechanisms of biomolecules using a combination of molecular and cellular approaches.

The Department is highly motivated to recruit individuals with a primary expertise in cellular signaling as it relates to human health.

It is anticipated that these individuals will synergize with current faculty in areas including but not limited to viral / bacterial pathogenesis, regenerative medicine, neuroscience, inflammation, structural biology, and protein folding disorders.

The recruit will join an existing core of molecular and cellular biologists with expertise in mentoring junior faculty and will be expected to secure extramural funds and maintain a vibrant and innovative research program using modern cutting-edge approaches.

Salary and rank are commensurate with experience.

The candidates will find that there is a supportive environment in the department and college that provides career and scientific mentoring.

The College supports several opportunities for internal grant awards, grant pre-review, recognition of research excellence, and social and scientific forums over the academic year.

We seek candidates who will address fundamental basic science questions at the molecular level as they relate to human health and will synergize with current faculty and the Department’s research pillars.

College investment in core infrastructure provides the faculty with a variety of up-to-date core facilities with access to instrumentation and technical expertise to enrich their programs.

The number 1 ranked Children’s Hospital in the country, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, has a strong historical record of close collaborations among researchers of the two Institutions, and the sharing of top-of-the-line core facilities.
