Muscle/Exercise and Health Molecular/Cellular Biologist

Applications are being accepted for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences (http://www.dbms.missouri.edu) with possible joint appointments in the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology, and Medical Pharmacology and Physiology in the School of Medicine, at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Requirements include MD, DVM and/or PhD degree. The successful candidate must have proven expertise in molecular biology technologies and demonstrate exceptional potential for the development of a vigorous, sustained research program. Potential for collaborative interactions with current faculty include programs in activity/inactivity research related to muscle, its adaptations with use, its loss of function with disuse, metabolic events required to support muscle function, the influence of muscle on metabolic processes and chronic disorders, and cardiovascular control in support of muscle. A broad range of research approaches are encouraged with expertise in gene regulation (employing modern molecular biology techniques), cell physiology, biochemistry, systems physiology, whole body responses, and patient management are available. The faculty member to be recruited for this position will fit into one of two groups of Muscle/Exercise and Health researchers: 1) Muscle Biology Group or 2) Muscle Metabolism and Health. Teaching responsibilities involve physiology or molecular biology related lectures to first year veterinary and graduate students. Review of completed applications will continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a current curriculum vitae; a statement of professional goals, emphasizing research and teaching; and the names of four references to: Dr. Ron Terjung, Search Committee Chair, E102 Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia, Missouri 65211.
