Assistant Professor in Physiology
RECRUITMENT PERIOD
Open October 3rd, 2019 through Friday, Nov 22, 2019 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
DESCRIPTION
The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of California, Merced is seeking one new faculty member at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in Physiology. While all candidates in all areas of Physiology are encouraged to apply, candidates that incorporate integrative and system approaches to the study of metabolism and/or metabolic disorders at a basic biological, clinical, and/or translational level will be particularly attractive. Candidates with expertise in cardiovascular and/or cardiometabolic, renal, and/or general or altered (ie, caloric restriction or dietary manipulation) metabolism areas using either traditional or non-traditional models of study are especially encouraged to apply. We expect outstanding scholars to establish and maintain a creative and productive research program, to contribute to the existing research programs within MCB and other departments at UC Merced, to participate actively in the development of innovative interdisciplinary programs and research, to teach effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to eagerly contribute to our department’s, school’s, and university’s mission of enhancing diversity and inclusion. The faculty within the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology has been very successful at attracting funding from primarily NIH, but also NSF, HHMI, and USDA among others, and many state-funding agencies with programs unique for UC faculty.
Qualifications: In order to be considered, candidates must have a PhD in biology, physiology, or a closely related field by the position start date.
Applications must be submitted via the University’s employment website, and must include: (1) a cover letter stating area of interest, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a 2 page statement of research, (4) a 2 page statement of teaching philosophy and practice, and (5) a 1 page statement of contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion*. Please see below for additional information.
Applicants for the Assistant Professor level should arrange to have three letters of reference submitted online. After an application is submitted, the letters of reference should be electronically uploaded by the letter writers (instructions will be provided by the application system). Letters of reference should be received no later than December 1, 2019.
*The contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion statement should describe your past experience, activities and future plans to advance diversity, equity and inclusion, in alignment with UC Merced’s mission to reflect the diversity of California and to meet the educational needs and interests of its diverse population. Some faculty candidates may not have substantial past activities. If that is the case, we recommend focusing on future plans in your statement. For an example of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement, please visit http://facultyexcellence.ucsd.edu/c2d/index.html#Are-there-any-guidelines-for-wr and/or https://ofew.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/example_statements_contributions_to_diversity.pdf.
Deadline: With a final closing date of November 22, 2019, review of applications will begin on November 25, 2019.
The University of California, Merced, is the newest of the University of California system’s 10 campuses. With 8,500 undergraduate and graduate students (https://www.ucmerced.edu/fast-facts), UC Merced provides outstanding educational opportunities to highly qualified students from the heart of California, the nation, and abroad. The campus has special connections to nearby Yosemite National Park; is on the cutting edge of sustainability in construction and design; and supports the economic development of Central California. The Merced 2020 Project doubled the physical capacity of the campus, and enhanced academic distinction, student success, and research excellence (https://merced2020.ucmerced.edu/).
The University of California is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and invites applications from all qualified applicants, including women, minorities, veterans, and individual with disabilities, who will enrich the teaching, research and public service missions of the university.

The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Wesleyan University seeks a tenure-track assistant professor beginning July 1, 2020. The candidate will develop an independent research program supported by extramural funding that integrates current biochemical, informatics, or biophysical approaches to address fundamental problems in molecular biology, including those relating to RNA, nucleic acid/protein dynamics, enzyme mechanisms, membrane biology/signal transduction, or cellular/microbial systems biology. Applicants are required to have a Ph.D. in molecular biology and biochemistry or related field and postdoctoral experience, and must demonstrate excellence in both teaching and research. We seek an individual who can contribute to both our undergraduate and graduate course curriculum, including fundamental and advanced biochemistry courses. The new hire will participate in our Ph.D. training program and cross-disciplinary initiatives in the life sciences. Additional duties include advising and mentoring students, as well as participating in faculty governance at the departmental and university level. Wesleyan is a highly selective liberal arts college that values both scholarship and teaching very highly, has a strong, diverse undergraduate student body, and offers a generous sabbatical program and competitive salaries and benefits.
To apply, please submit the following: the curriculum vitae, publications, a statement of research plans, a statement of teaching interests, teaching evaluations (if available), and email addresses for three recommenders to https://careers.wesleyan.edu/postings/6898
As part of the teaching statement (or cover letter), we invite you to describe your cultural competencies and experiences engaging a diverse student body. Review of applications will begin October 1, 2019, and will continue until the position is filled.
Please contact Anika Dane by email adane@wesleyan.edu or phone at 860-685-2404 if you have any questions about the application process.

University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN U.S.A is seeking a Research Assistant/Scientist for Neuroscience under the direction of the Principal Investigator (Dr. Thirumalini Vaithianathan). The Research Assistant/Scientist will be responsible for conducting research focused on studying the local Ca2+ signaling in retinal bipolar cells, a class of neuron critical to transmitting extremely fast, precise and sustained neurotransmission that is critical for the perception of complex senses such as vision. Our laboratory recently developed Nanophysiology approach for tracking single synaptic vesicles and measure Ca2+ signals at a single active zone with millisecond precision. Therefore, the Research Assistant/Scientist will be primarily engaged in conducting experiments focused on the molecular mechanism regulating local Ca2+ domains in normal and degenerative disease utilizing state-of-the-art imaging, electrophysiological, electron microscopy, and pharmacological tools in retinal bipolar neurons from transgenic zebrafish and mouse models. Some of the projects involve collaborations with researchers at Yale University.
Preferences will be given to candidates with a strong background in neuroscience with expertise in physiological assays, including patch clamp experience, coupled with morphological methods at the confocal and light sheet microscope level. Experience in protein, DNA and RNA manipulation and characterization, and cell culture is a plus. However, highly motivated individuals with less experience will also be considered. Salary commensurate with experience.
