New Faculty Hire: Biophysics
This position is partly funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as part of a larger grant-supported effort to strengthen collaborations between the Departments of Biology and Physics and increase the quantitative content of our course offerings. The new faculty member would be responsible for the development of a Biophysics course in addition to possibly taking part in a currently offered course in Biomechanics, which is cross-listed and team taught with a Physics faculty member.
The Biology department consists of eleven, full-time tenure track faculty members whose research and teaching range from prokaryotes to fish, and cell biology to ecology. The Department is housed in a recently renovated building and is very well equipped. Key pieces of equipment available to faculty and students include confocal, fluorescent, interference and electron microscopes, plant growth chambers, cell culturing facilities, a 3m recirculating flume, high-speed video recorders and real-time PCR. The hire will be housed in a newly renovated lab customized to the needs of their research area.
The new faculty member will be expected to develop and execute a research program that includes undergraduate and graduate students. The department strongly encourages, but does not require, undergraduate research either as a part of the student’s course work or during the summer when the University offers research fellowships. In addition the Department currently supports ~16 Masters students who take part in thesis research.
