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.

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），以招聘染色质结构和功能生物化学领域的终身教职助理教授。该系认定大学缺乏这一重要学科，并于2008年9月获得院长詹姆斯·马达拉（James Madara）的许可，在这一领域招聘人员，这对该系和大学来说都是新奇的。随后，马达拉院长要求我们停止搜索，因为资金短缺。招募将由分子遗传学和细胞生物学部门（MGCB），基因组学和系统生物学研究所（IGSB）和生物化学和分子生物学部门（BMB）共同领导。受聘人员将在MGCB担任主要职务，并视兴趣而有可能成为IGSB的成员。中心成立了一个核心搜索委员会，由对染色质和基因表达感兴趣的MGCB， BMB和IGSB的主要教师组成。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。新研究员将拥有博士或医学博士学位，有杰出的论文发表记录，并在染色质生物化学/蛋白质组学的先驱实验室有几年的博士后经验。潜在的招聘人员将被安置在MGCB内完全翻新的空间。生物科学司内的年轻研究人员将获得涵盖几乎所有当前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新聘教员的需要进行精简。如果NIH批准我们的ARRA来招募，生物科学部的院长将承诺为前两年提供补充，并为这个终身职位提供额外的两年或更长时间的资助。
