The Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine seeks applicants for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level. We seek a collaborative colleague whose research program is focused on fundamental mechanistic processes related to cardiac physiology, cell physiology/mechanics, and/or molecular neurophysiology. Careful but not exclusive consideration will be given to applicants who use non-traditional models alongside innovative biophysical, 'omics, and live imaging approaches to address fundamental knowledge gaps.
Departmental strengths include faculty engaged in cardiovascular science, ion channel physiology, molecular motors, cellular biophysics, calcium signaling, nuclear steroid receptors, RNA biology, and aging research. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage with collaborative translational research groups within Loyola's Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI). Additional information on the department and cross-departmental research areas, resources, and facilities are described here.
Candidates must have a doctoral degree and postdoctoral experience with strong publication records. The faculty applicant will be expected to sustain an independent, externally-funded research program and contribute to graduate and medical education.
Salary Range: $99,000 – $125,000
