The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology invites applications from outstanding candidates for a tenure track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.  This search is open to candidates wishing to pursue interests in any specialty within biochemistry and molecular biology. The Department has established strengths in structural biology, computational biology and bioinformatics, the biochemistry and molecular biology of RNA, signal transduction, extremophile and metalloenzyme biochemistry, as well as plant and animal glycobiology (further information is available at http://www.bmb.uga.edu).  Candidates with research interests that expand or complement existing departmental strengths are particularly encouraged, but all outstanding applicants will be carefully considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent), postdoctoral experience, a solid publication record and a well-developed research plan. The successful candidate will be expected to establish a strong extramurally funded research program and contribute to teaching in the Department.

To apply, submit a cover letter, CV, and a description of research and teaching interests to rita@bmb.uga.edu electronically (indicate biochemistry open search in the subject line). Applicants should arrange to have at least three letters of reference sent to: Open Search Committee Chair, c/o Ms. Rita Hutchins, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Georgia, Life Sciences Building, 120 Green Street, Athens, GA 30602-7229.  Electronic letters of recommendation on letterhead are acceptable. Complete applications received by February 14, 2008 are assured of full consideration.

The Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, its many units, and the University of Georgia are committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and students, and sustaining a work and learning environment that is inclusive. The University of Georgia is an EEO/AA institution.

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Institute of Bioinformatics invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in the general area of systems biology and bioinformatics. Applications received by January 31, 2008 are assured full consideration; however applications may be accepted until the position is filled. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in one of the related areas. Preference will be given to candidates who have received excellent training in both the biological and computational sciences and who possess strong computational and experimental skills to conduct systems biology research.
