The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, (UCB) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology, at the Assistant Professor level.

We broadly seek applicants studying fundamental aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, Structural Biology and Molecular Genetics. We will consider candidates across this wide field, and we are particularly interested in those who take biophysical approaches to understanding biological mechanism, or whose research addresses mechanistic enzymology. This position would have the opportunity (if desired) to interact with the Innovative Genomics Institute, the Advanced Bio Imaging Center, and the Developmental and Regenerative Biology group, the UCB Drug Discovery Center, and the Center for Computational Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Faculty at the assistant rank in our department demonstrate excellence, originality, and productivity in research, the strong potential to obtain external funding, a capacity for excellence in teaching and mentoring of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs, and a commitment to service consistent with Berkeley's principles of community. Applicants are encouraged to visit Molecular and Cell Biology to learn more about the department and our mission.

Our department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
