Opportunity: Assistant or Associate Professor Nanoscience and Nanoengineering @ South Dakota School of Mines & Technology -- Rapid City, SD (US)
Submitted by Steve Smith; posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2017
DESCRIPTION
The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology invites applications for a 9-month tenure-track faculty position in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of computational nanoscience, imaging informatics and bioinformatics. Candidates with expertise in other areas relating to bio-nanoscience will also be considered.
The position is associated with a statewide research center: BioSystems Networks / Translational Research (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 multiple industrial partners, including Sanford Research.
The successful candidate will be provided a competitive salary and access to center staff and shared resources, including high performance computing infrastructure. 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, teaching and developing relevant graduate courses, mentoring and advising PhD students, and building strong collaborative research teams.
Specific interests for this position are candidates who could contribute to multiscale modeling, analyzing high volume microscopy data generated by our newly constructed lattice light sheet microscope, and connecting this data with computational biology and next-generation sequencing. Individuals whose research emphasis can complement on-going efforts in biophotonics, cellular level biophysics, super-resolution imaging methods, mechanobiology, and the combination of AFM and fluorescence microscopy for correlative imaging of bio-systems are particularly encouraged to apply.
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. Candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will become a faculty member in an interdisciplinary doctoral program in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, with an anticipated start date of August 20, 2018. Email Steve.Smith[at]sdsmt.edu for further information regarding this position.
