Description

The Department of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the areas of cancer biology, immunology, and cancer therapeutics. We are particularly interested in candidates who utilize innovative computational approaches, data analytics, or artificial intelligence approaches to inform our understanding of cancer. Research areas of interest include cancer immunology, cell signaling, biochemistry, cell or structural biology, metabolism and metabolic changes occurring in cancer cells and tumors, DNA damage and repair pathways, genetic and epigenetic regulation of oncogenic processes, or the molecular underpinnings of metastasis.

The Department of Molecular Biosciences is composed of a broad faculty whose research interests span many disciplines including biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology and biophysics, cell and developmental biology, plant biology, microbiology, immunology and infectious diseases, biotechnology, and systems and synthetic biology. We are excited to welcome collaborative scientists who actively interact with our faculty members and take advantage of our state-of-the-art facilities (see below).

Successful candidates are expected to establish and sustain a vibrant research program; serve as dedicated teachers and mentors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; and assist in the administrative and governance functions of the department, the university, and the profession via service on committees as appropriate. Applicants at the assistant professor level must have plans to develop an exciting independent research program and a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate education.

Qualifications

Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline and have an outstanding record of scientific ability as demonstrated by a strong publication record.
