The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Delaware invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in biochemistry and related areas of life sciences. We seek highly creative individuals whose research interests complement those of the department, including, but not limited to, protein complexes and machineries, cellular assemblies and extracellular matrix, redox biology, protein post-translational modifications, DNA and RNA metabolism and interactions, and membrane proteins. We are interested in candidates who emphasize a mechanistic understanding of complex biological problems by utilizing novel biochemical, bioanalytical, bioinorganic, bioorganic or biophysical approaches. The successful candidates should have a PhD in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, or related fields, and the potential for excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Biochemistry and Chemistry.
