Position Description:
The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Cancer Center (CC) in partnership with basic science departments (Biochemistry, Biophysics, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Cell Biology, Neuroscience and Anatomy, Microbiology & Immunology) has made a strategic decision to expand on its strengths in Structural and Chemical Biology and now invites applications for multiple tenure-track positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. This cluster recruitment effort seeks individuals to establish internationally leading research programs that apply the tools of chemical, computational or structural biology to fundamental questions in cancer. Applicants must have a doctoral degree in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics or related discipline, at least two years of postdoctoral training, a strong publication record investigating structural and functional properties of biomolecules of therapeutic relevance, and potential to obtain extramural funding.
