Optical Spectroscopy

Seeking an outstanding scientist for a tenure-track faculty position in the broadly defined field of modern optical spectroscopy, including single-molecule spectroscopy, optical trapping, and/or bio-spectroscopy. As the position is also associated with the NIH NCRR Center for Protein Structure and Function, there are opportunities for collaboration with  the other researchers in the center. In addition, collaborative and multidisciplinary research in computational chemistry, nanomaterials, and bio-analysis are strongly encouraged.  The Department and the Center have state-of-the-art core facilities in NMR spectroscopy, protein and small molecule X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, and synthesis. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. and will be expected to establish a nationally recognized research program, and teach effectively at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Review of completed applications will begin on October 15, 2007, and will continue until the position is filled.
