Chair Department of Structural and Computational Biology  

The University at Buffalo (UB), The State University of New York, School
of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and the Hauptman-Woodward Medical
Research Institute (HWI) invite applications from candidates for the
position of Department Chair to lead expansion of the current Department
of Structural Biology into a Department of Structural and Computational
Biology.  The successful candidate will be an established investigator
with a strong record of competitive research funding and significant
research accomplishments.  He or she will possess personal qualities of
leadership and vision equal to the task of building a program of
research in computational structural biology that will complement and
enhance the Department's ongoing programs of research based on
experimental studies of the three-dimensional atomic architecture of
biological macromolecules and multi-molecular complexes and assemblies.

The Department is housed in the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research
Institute (HWI; www.hwi.buffalo.edu), which is recognized
internationally as a leading center for crystallography-based research
on biomolecular structure and function, and whose principal scientists
constitute the faculty of the Department.  HWI is located on the
Buffalo-Niagara Medical Campus immediately adjacent to UB's New York
State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences (CoE;
www.bioinformatics.buffalo.edu) and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute's
Center for Genetics and Pharmacology (www.roswellpark.org/Research).
The CoE houses UB's Center for Computational Research
(www.ccr.buffalo.edu), a supercomputing facility capable of 14 teraflop
peak performance that will be a collaborating resource for the new
Structural and Computational Biology Department. The Department has a
key role in fulfilling the aims of UB's 2020 strategic plan as well as
integrating basic science with the School's expanding clinical and
translational research programs.

Interested persons should supply a copy of their curriculum vitae and a
description of their research plans, and arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be submitted confidentially to www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu
for posting number 0900066.  Nominations or inquiries may be sent
electronically to Dr. Bruce Holm, Chair Structural and Computational
Biology Search Committee, [log in to unmask]
