Opportunity: Assistant Professor in nanoscience and nanoengineering @ South Dakota School of Mines & Technology -- Rapid City, SD (US)
Submitted by Steve Smith; posted on Monday, March 14, 2016
BACKGROUND
The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology invites applications for a 9-month tenure-track faculty position in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at the Assistant Professor level in the area of computational nanoscience, imaging informatics and bio-informatics. The position will be the third new faculty position in Nanoscience at South Dakota Mines in support of a newly-formed statewide research center: The Biochemical Spatiotemporal NeTwork Resource (BioSNTR). BioSNTR is focused on advanced fluorescence and optical imaging methods to leverage bioinformatics towards the understanding of signaling networks and their regulation in living systems. BioSNTR is a collaboration between research university partners South Dakota State University, the University of South Dakota, and South Dakota Mines, with industrial partners at Sanford Research. As a member of BioSNTR, the successful candidate will be provided a competitive salary and start-up package, and access to center staff and shared resources, including high performance computing infrastructure.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The selected candidate will be expected to contribute to the South Dakota Mines Nanoscience and Nanoengineering PhD program by developing a robust extramurally funded research program, through teaching and development of graduate courses relevant to Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, and through mentoring and advising of PhD students, as well as building strong research teams within BioSNTR.
PREFERENCES
Specific interests for this position are candidates who could contribute to the imaging informatics and analysis of high volume microscopy data generated by our newly constructed lattice light sheet microscope, correlative atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence, multiphoton, and high content imaging microscopy systems, and connect this data with computational biology and next generation sequencing. Individuals whose research emphasis can complement on-going efforts in biophotonics, super-resolution imaging methods, and the combination of AFM and fluorescence microscopy for correlative imaging of bio-systems are particularly encouraged to apply.
REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must possess a PhD in a science or engineering discipline closely aligned with Nanoscience and Nanoengineering and/or one of the above-mentioned research emphases. The successful candidate will become a faculty member in an interdisciplinary doctoral program in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, with an anticipated start date of August 22, 2016. Email Steve.Smith[at]sdsmt.edu for further information regarding this position.
LOCALE
