MB&B Tenure-Track Professor at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut

Job Description:

The Department of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry (http://mbb.yale.edu/) at Yale University invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty appointment. This opportunity is available at all ranks, including Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels. The research area focuses on in situ biochemistry and biophysics, exploring the intricate molecular and cellular processes in their native environment and the complex interactions of their macromolecular components. Priority will be given, though not exclusively, to areas outlined in the University Science Strategic Plan and the Yale School of Medicine Research Strategic Plan.

The Department, which is located in both the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and in the School of Medicine, defines biochemistry and biophysics broadly to mean the molecules and mechanisms of life. Current research areas include protein translation and homeostasis, RNA biology, genomics and DNA repair, host-virus interactions, cytoskeleton and membrane biology, and molecular neuroscience. The Department employs a range of approaches including biochemical, biophysical, structural (X-ray and cryo-EM), genetic, cell biological, and computational.

The successful candidate is expected to establish a vibrant research group, be an interactive member of the faculty, and be committed to excellence in teaching in areas related to molecular biophysics or biochemistry for both undergraduate and graduate students. The Department is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. The Department strongly welcomes applicants from historically marginalized groups in science.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and communication skills conducive to excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are necessary. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2025.
