Faculty Position in C. elegans Molecular Genetics
The Department of Genetics, Cell Biology & Development (GCD) at the
University of Minnesota is conducting a search for an Assistant or
Associate Professor using molecular genetic approaches in the nematode
C. elegansto study fundamental biological mechanisms. The successful
candidate will join a core group of active nematode researchers with
diverse interests including developmental timing, sexual
differentiation, intercellular communication, nervous system
development, cell adhesion, and the cellular roles of myosins and the
cytoskeleton. The C. elegans group has significant ties to an
interdepartmental Developmental Biology Center (DBC)
(http://www.med.umn.edu/dbc/). GCD faculty exploit a variety of genetic
model organisms, including fungi, algae, flies, zebrafish and mice. GCD
is also home to the International C. elegansGenetics Center.
The Department of GCD will provide a competitive salary and start up
package, plus excellent laboratory space, with access to
state-of-the-art core facilities. The candidate must have a Ph.D. or
M.D. and at least two years of postdoctoral experience. Investigators
studying any aspect of C. elegansbiology will be considered, with use
of cutting edge technology, including genomics approaches, to address a
fundamental problem serving as an important selection
criterion. Emphasis will also be placed on the potential for
interaction with existing research programs in GCD
(http://www.gcd.med.umn.edu/) and the DBC. The person selected will be
expected to develop or expand upon an independent, externally-funded
research program and participate in the teaching mission of the
department. Applications will be reviewed, beginning Dec 1, 2005, and
will be accepted until the position is filled.
