Endowed Professorships (3) Molecular Sciences
The NMR and computational professorships
are the first of a series of endowed positions associated with a new
Molecular Recognition Program within the Department of Chemistry. A
professorship named after the University's founder, Francis Eppes, may
also be offered within the Department of Biological Science in association
with the inter-departmental Institute of Molecular Biophysics.
Florida State University is at the start of a major expansion in the
Basic Sciences. In the coming years up to 50 faculty candidates will be
sought for an approved expansion into the Basic Biomedical Sciences, and
an additional 20 associated with a new School of Computational Science and
Information Technology, of which 6-8 are planned in the area of
Computational Biology. The Department of Chemistry has recently secured
funding for a new $46M building.
These expansions build upon a strong base in experimental science. The
chair in NMR will play a leadership role in the development of high
resolution NMR within the National High Field Magnet Laboratory. The
Endowed Professors will become leaders within the Structural Biology
Program that already includes faculty research groups representing NMR
(3), Crystallography (4), EPR (3), Mass Spectroscopy and cryo-EM. Strong
departmental research programs are exemplified by the synthesis of Taxol,
royalties from which are funding much of the current initiative.
Florida State University seeks to fill these positions with leaders who
have achieved international recognition for excellent research programs.
Applications to the Chairs of the respective committees should include a
curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and the names of three referees.
Nominations and (confidential) enquiries are also welcome. Florida State
University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
