The Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) Department of Physics is
seeking candidates for a tenure-track assistant professor position
in the area of experimental biophysics. The search is part of a
long-term interest in expanding the scope of biophysics within the
Physics Department at CWRU, and builds on a variety of existing
research efforts in the department: theoretical and experimental
biophysics (protein dynamics, single-molecule microscopy, modeling
of biological systems from the cellular scale to the evolution of
populations), experimental soft condensed matter (biosensing,
nanotechnologies for cancer therapy), and medical physics (MRI and
magnetic nanoparticle imaging).
The successful candidate will complement these initiatives, and
take advantage of the numerous collaborative opportunities
available both on campus and in the extensive local biomedical
research environment (the Case Western Reserve University School of
Medicine, the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and a variety
of startups). The Physics Department is also one of the leaders in
a new Interschool Quantitative Biosciences Program, a certificate
for graduate students which fosters interdisciplinary training and
engagement across the natural sciences, medicine, and
engineering.
We encourage applications from candidates working at any level of
biological organization, from single molecules to whole
populations. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
biomolecule dynamics and interactions, biological condensates,
cytoskeletal mechanics, cell adhesion and tissue organization,
epigenetics, systems biology, microbial and cancer evolution.
Further, candidates with strengths in developing novel experimental
methods or designing experiments that use cutting-edge
instrumentation to understand biophysical dynamics will be viewed
favorably.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a PhD or equivalent in physics or a closely
related field. They should demonstrate the potential to conduct a
program of innovative and funded research, be an effective teacher,
and mentor both graduate and undergraduate students. Additionally,
they must be committed to working with a diverse population of
faculty, staff and students and creating an inclusive
environment.
Application Instructions
Applicants should apply to this position at: Applicants will be
prompted to provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a list of
publications, a statement of research plans, a statement of
teaching, a statement of diversity, and contact information for at
least three professional references. The diversity statement should
explain either: (a) how the applicant's research, teaching, and/or
service have contributed to diversity, equity and inclusion within
their scholarly field(s) and/or (b) how the applicant's individual
and/or collaborative efforts have promoted structural justice
inside and outside institutions of higher learning. This statement
should also reflect on the ways in which the applicant's continued
efforts will foster a culture of diversity, pluralism, and
individual difference at Case Western Reserve University into the
future.
Questions regarding submission of materials may be submitted with
the subject "Experimental Biophysics Faculty Search" to Kimberly
Chapple at , Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve. Questions
regarding the search may be directed to Prof. Michael Hinczewski at
