Two Faculty Positions in Experimental Biological Physics

Department of Physics and Astronomy

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill invites applications for two junior level tenure-track
positions in experimental biological physics
(www.physics.unc.edu/join/faculty_pos.php). We seek candidates with
expertise in imaging from the molecular and cellular scales up to tissue and
organs, neuroscience, single molecule physics, systems biology, nanomedicine
and soft matter biophysics that will complement our core programs.  UNC
provides unusual opportunities for collaboration with the UNC Health
Sciences campus that is immediately adjacent to the College of Arts and
Sciences. One of the successful candidates will be affiliated with the new
Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) which is developing new
multi-million dollar imaging facilities with techniques from the cellular
level to animal and human imaging. The department is home to major efforts
in x-ray imaging technologies, systems neuroscience and the NIH Center for
Computer Integrated Systems for Microscopy and Manipulation (CISMM).
Successful candidates will be expected to take advantage of extensive
collaborations on campus. Current examples include the UNC Neuroscience
Center, the Carolina Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence, the
systems biology of lung defense (Virtual Lung Project), the Institute for
Advanced Materials, Nanoscience and Technology and the Molecular & Cellular
Biophysics Training Program.  Applications will be reviewed beginning
November 1, 2007, but the search will remain open until the position is
filled, with a targeted start date of July 1, 2008.  Applicants should
submit a curriculum vita, research and teaching statements, and arrange to
have 4 letters of recommendation sent as MS-Word or PDF format attachments
to biophysics-search-2007 at physics.unc.edu . If necessary, hardcopy versions
may be addressed to Chairman, Biophysics Search Committee, Dept. of Physics
and Astronomy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC
27599-3255. UNC is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and strongly encourages
applications from women and minorities.
