Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has committed substantial resources toward expanding interdisciplinary research in the Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics Department.  A new Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, with founding faculty members from the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Biological Chemistry, is led by Dr. Ali Shilatifard, an internationally recognized leader in chromatin biology, gene expression and epigenetics, and on how the misregulation of these pathways contributes to human cancer.  We are now seeking candidates to fill a new full-time, tenure track faculty position at the Assistant, Associate or full Professor ranks. Northwestern University offers a collegial and collaborative scientific environment that is rich with core facilities, robust cross-disciplinary graduate training programs, and diverse expertise.

Candidates should have a PhD, MD/PhD or MD degree, significant research experience, and evidence of sustainable extramural funding.  Salary is commensurate with experience. Start date will be for the 2016-2017 academic year.  Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.  Please submit by email (as a single PDF) a cover letter, curriculum vitae, summary of research experience, and future plans along with names and contact information for three references to BMG-search@Northwestern.edu.
