Biochemistry of Chromatin Structure and Function - ARRA

描述(由申请人提供)：分子遗传学和细胞生物学系正在向NIGMS申请恢复法案拨款(RFA-OD-09-005)，以招聘一名染色质结构和功能生物化学领域的终身教职助理教授。系已确定该大学缺乏这一重要学科，并于2008年9月获得詹姆斯·马达拉院长的许可，在这一领域为系和该大学招聘小说。随后，马达拉院长要求我们停止这项搜索，因为资金短缺。招募工作将由分子遗传学和细胞生物学系(MGCB)、基因组学和系统生物学研究所(IGSB)以及生物化学和分子生物学系(BMB)领导。招募人员将在MGCB有一个主要任命，并根据兴趣是否有可能成为IGSB的成员。一个核心搜索委员会已经成立，由MGCB、BMB和IGSB的关键教授组成，他们对染色质和基因表达感兴趣。该职位将在主要科学期刊上刊登广告，并将强调该大学对少数民族和妇女的申请感兴趣。这位新的研究员将拥有博士或医学博士学位，杰出的发表记录，以及在染色质生物化学/蛋白质组学的先驱实验室中从事多年博士后工作的经验。潜在的新兵将被安置在MGCB内完全翻新的空间。生物科学司的年轻研究人员将可获得几乎涵盖当前每一种方法的最新研究设施。MGCB为初级教员制定了一项指导计划，并将在与主席协商后，根据招聘人员的需要进行精简。如果NIH批准我们招募ARRA，生物科学部主任承诺补充前两年，并将这一终身职位的资金再延长两年甚至更长时间。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology is applying to the NIGMS for a Recovery Act grant (RFA-OD-09-005) to recruit a tenure track Assistant Professor in the area of Biochemistry of Chromatin Structure and Function. The department had determined the lack of this important discipline at the University and had obtained permission from Dean James Madara in September 2008 to recruit in this area, novel for the Department and the University. Subsequently, Dean Madara requested that we stop this search because of a shortage of funds. Recruitment will be a coordinated effort led by the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology (MGCB), together with the Institute of Genomics and Systems Biology (IGSB) and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB). The recruit will have a primary appointment in MGCB with the potential for membership in IGSB depending on interests. A core search committee has been formed consisting of key faculty in MGCB, BMB, and IGSB with interests in chromatin and gene expression. The position will be advertised in major scientific journals and will emphasize that the University is interested in applications from ethnic minorities and women. The new investigator will have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree, an outstanding publication record and several years of postdoctoral experience in a laboratory that is a pioneer in chromatin biochemistry/proteomics. The potential recruit will be housed in completely renovated space within MGCB. Up-to-date research facilities that cover essentially every current methodology will be available to the young investigator within the Division of Biological Sciences. A mentoring plan for junior faculty is in place in MGCB and will be streamlined for the needs of the recruit in consultation with the chair. If NIH grants us an ARRA to recruit, the Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences is committed to supplement the first two years and to extend funding for this tenure track position for additional two years and beyond.
