Michael Lieberman — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:08:47 GMT

The Department of Medical Education at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is seeking applicants for a full-time (12-month), non-tenure track, basic sciences medical educator faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor. This faculty member will serve two programs within the College of Medicine: the Medical Sciences Baccalaureate Program (BS) and the Medical School (MD).

As a member of the Medical Sciences Baccalaureate Program Community of Scholars, the candidate's role in the Medical Sciences Baccalaureate Program will include responsibilities both inside and outside of the classroom to prepare students wholistically for career paths in the biomedical sciences and healthcare field, including medical school. Teaching roles will span courses from the 1st to 4th year of the curriculum, helping students to develop both professional competencies and STEM subject matter expertise. Upper-level courses targeted to 3rd and 4th year undergraduate students will include teaching biochemistry; however, other subjects such as medical microbiology, medical genetics, or cell biology may be expected dependent upon the expertise of the applicant. All faculty members in the program also serve as a mentor for groups of students. The candidate will support the broader curriculum through participation in various committees, including the curriculum committee. The position will also include opportunities for developing and publishing innovative pedagogical materials and scholarship.

The candidate's role in the Medical School (MD program) will include serving as the course director of Scientific Foundations of Medicine (SFOM). SFOM is the first basic science course of the pre-clerkship medical curriculum (Phase 1), which prepares students with the necessary basic science knowledge to succeed in subsequent organ system courses. As a course director, the candidate will lead the organization of SFOM course content, oversee all course activities, and create assessment materials. The candidate will work closely with a clinical co-director (MD) to conduct this work. The candidate is also expected to present lectures within SFOM and other Phase 1 courses, according to their subject matter expertise. Additionally, this candidate will collaborate with other organ system course directors (members of the department of medical education) and Phase 1 clinical course directors in ongoing curriculum development and integration of basic science and clinical content.

Karen Gottlieb — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 21:55:21 GMT

The Department of Biochemistry invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor in “Gene-Nutrient Interactions in Human Health and Development”. The Department of Biochemistry currently offers an undergraduate degree program in Human Biosciences. In addition, robust graduate programs in both Human Biosciences and Food Sciences are offered. This position is a cornerstone of the department’s strategic plan to provide world-class, inclusive education in Human Biosciences. The Department of Biochemistry has identified “Molecular Biochemistry of Life Processes” and “Nutritional Biochemistry” as primary research foci for future development, with a particular focus on the molecular basis of human health and disease. The successful applicant will be expected to develop an independent, externally funded research program that studies the relationship of gene-nutrient interactions to human health, chronic disease, and/or development throughout the lifespan. This research program should use cutting edge molecular and/or cellular biology techniques. The exact research specialization within these general areas is open but those studying gut microbiome and nutrients in host gene expression, trans-generational effects of nutrition on epigenome/epigenetics, the relationship of diet to genetic risk factors of disease, or in-born errors of metabolism are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate should utilize a variety of experimental approaches but it is expected that their research program will have significant pre-clinical (i.e. animal and/or cellular models) and/or translational aspects. It is also envisaged that through the establishment of new collaborations, the successful applicant will further strengthen ties between the two research foci in the Department, as well as strengthening ties within the wider Faculty of Science and other units on campus such as the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, the Faculty of Medicine, and the School of Pharmacy. The successful applicant will be required to contribute to teaching and supervision in the Human Biosciences undergraduate program, as well as to graduate degree course offerings, particularly in the areas of nutrient metabolism and human gene regulation.

Applicants should have a strong research background with a Ph.D. and post-doctoral training in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Nutrition, Human Biosciences, or closely related fields with a strong record of publications. A demonstrated track record of or potential for teaching excellence in Human Biosciences would be an asset.

description of teaching and mentoring philosophy (no more than three pages), 5) statement outlining their EDI philosophy, commitment and implementation strategy (no more than 1 page) and 6) a list of at least three referees with complete contact information. Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) has an established policy for spousal appointments, so if this is of interest to the candidate, please include in the cover letter.

The Department of Biochemistry is in an active phase of faculty renewal and moved to a new state-of-the-art facility in 2021. MUN has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research and teaching. The successful applicant is encouraged to strengthen and expand departmental ties with other disciplines locally, nationally, and internationally through research and/or pedagogy-focussed collaborations. The Department is committed to increasing diversity; to support this goal, a team approach to mentorship and many additional supports for new academic staff are provided. As part of the commitment of the Department of Biochemistry to equity, diversity and inclusion, the hiring committee will implement best practices to reduce unconscious bias and to ensure that initial shortlisting of candidates includes those from under-represented target groups at the level they exist in the applicant pool according to Statistics Canada.

All parts of the applications should be submitted as a single pdf document to Dr. Robert Bertolo, Head of Department, at biochem@mun.ca by no later than Dec 1, 2023, using the subject heading “Gene-Nutrient Interaction tenure-track position”.

Biochemistry Faculty (3 tenure-track positions), University of Missouri

Michael Chapman — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 00:43:43 GMT

The University of Missouri (MU) invites applications for three tenure-track faculty positions in the Department of Biochemistry. All positions will be in areas of fundamental biochemistry, two focused on plant biochemistry, and one relevant to biomedical problems. Applications at the Assistant Professor level are encouraged. Candidates at a higher level will be considered if there is a record of extramural research funding, publications, teaching and service expected of tenured faculty at a research-intensive university, and such candidates in an appropriate area of Plant Biochemistry will be considered for the O’Dell endowed professorship.

The department has an undergraduate teaching mission in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CAFNR), provides pre-clinical training in the School of Medicine and graduate education in both units. As a department in a Land Grant University that bridges two colleges, the Department of Biochemistry is home to fundamental molecular science and to its translation into both agricultural and biomedical applications.
