Biology is the study of living organisms. In order to understand ourselves, other species, and our place in the earth's ecology, we need to understand what life is and how it functions. In the 21st century we have come to understand life at the molecular and cellular level to the point we can forever change life on earth. Advances in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics will revolutionize health care, the food we eat, improve our environment, and if we choose to, alter human life itself. We are also learning about the effects our species has on other species and the earth’s environment .
Tenure-track positions open
Associate Professors in Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
Start Date: August 2008
Minimum Requirement: Ph.D.
We seek candidates with expertise addressing problems in environmental sustainability, energy independence, food security, and human health using techniques from bioinformatics, genomics, bioengineering, protein engineering, computational biology, medicinal chemistry, or biomedical devices. Particular areas of interest are proteomics/genomics, drug design and discovery, and nanoscience. Candidates working on problems from other disciplines will definitely be considered, but all will apply biotechnology or nanotechnology solutions...[more]
