JOB BOARD

Position Description: The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) at Oklahoma State University (OSU) invites applications for a full-time, 11-month, tenure-track teaching (80%) and extension (20%) position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the field of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and youth STEM education. 

The BMB department is located within the Noble Research Center and is composed of a diverse faculty with expertise in a variety of disciplines. The Department presently employs 22 faculty and 6 support staff and houses OSU’s Proteomics and Genomics Core Facilities.  The BMB Department has an undergraduate program (~150 majors) that prepares students for postgraduate professional and graduate programs. In addition, the Department has exceptional M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Across the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and the OSU campus, there are a number of faculty and extension specialists working on STEM education and educational research programs.

Exemplary teaching and the ability to cover lower and upper-division BMB courses is a primary responsibility of the incumbent. The successful candidate is also expected to champion the use of modern pedagogical tools in the department and contribute to online course delivery in BMB. In addition, this individual will serve as a liaison between the BMB department and the Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development unit. In this latter role, the candidate will work with both state extension specialists and county educators to develop and deliver youth development programs on BMB-related topics that include a standards-based curriculum and opportunities for youth to demonstrate mastery through hands-on engagement.

The individual hired should also be prepared to work alone and in collaboration to apply for competitive grants aimed at improving science education programs and/or youth STEM program development. The candidate will also be expected to act as a faculty mentor and/or advisor for undergraduate majors and educational research students.

Qualifications: Ph.D. degree in life sciences education, biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related discipline. Postdoctoral training while not required, is a plus for potential candidates, and demonstration of postdoctoral research completed within the broad discipline of science education is especially sought after. Previous science teaching experience at a university or community college and involvement with youth STEM education is highly desirable.

Employment:
This 11-month tenure track faculty position will be filled by August 10, 2023, or as soon thereafter as an acceptable applicant is available.  Salary and start-up will be commensurate with qualifications.

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.  Areas of interest include: fundamental biochemistry and/or applications such as synthetic biology; metabolic engineering; transgenic technology; and spatio-temporal biochemistry involving transcriptomics, proteomics, and other genome-wide approaches.  For two of the positions the successful candidates could represent any of many areas.  However, for one of the positions, we seek someone, more specifically at the interface of plant metabolism and radiochemistry, leveraging the generation of radio-isotopes at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR). Such an investigator might be studying carbon or nitrogen dynamics utilizing radioactive ¹¹C or ¹³N, micronutrient assimilation and/or exchange between plants, soil, and microorganisms, or metabolic flux, for example.

The candidates will join highly collaborative research communities including the NextGen Precision Health Initiative and the Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) that are supported by outstanding core facilities. For additional information, visit http://biochem.missouri.edu.

Application: Candidates should have an earned doctorate and the ability to lead a federally funded research group.  To apply, visit https://biochem.missouri.edu/open-positions/, click on Open Positions and submit: (1) a cover letter; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) a one-page summary of research accomplishments with two pages of future plans; (4) a one-page narrative of teaching philosophy; (5) a description of current and future efforts to expand diversity & inclusion in science; and (6) names and contact information of four references. Review of applications will begin in early December, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled. For information, contact biochemchair@missouri.edu.
