Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (New Brunswick, NJ, USA) invites applications for a distinguished scientist, focused on 3D structures of biological macromolecules, to be appointed to the tenured rank of Professor. This role will include directorship of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank and membership in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. The University is seeking an expert in experimental and/or computational structural biology with an outstanding record of accomplishment and excellent future promise, working at the interface between the chemical and data sciences and biology/medicine. The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB, RCSB.org), headquartered at Rutgers, is the United States data center of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank partnership (wwPDB.org). Now in its 53rd year of continuous operations, US government agencies have continuously funded the open-access PDB since 1971. Today, the RCSB PDB serves many millions of data consumers worldwide every year with its research-focused web portal RCSB.org, a one-stop-shop for the world's public domain 3D biostructure information, and its training, outreach, and education portal (PDB101.RCSB.org). PDB data are also repackaged and redistributed by nearly 500 external biodata resources and used by major biopharmaceutical companies, all at no charge and with no limitations on usage. The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (CCB) supports world-class academic and research programs and encourages collaboration with the many nearby chemical and biopharmaceutical companies. Some 36 tenured/tenure-track faculty plus 30 non-tenure-track faculty/technical staff comprising CCB are committed to advancing chemistry and related disciplines and to addressing challenges in health, energy, and the environment. Our teaching mission is to provide exceptional education at all levels, preparing students for leadership roles in industry, government laboratories, and academia. Aggregate federal funding awarded to CCB faculty has placed it in the top 20 chemistry departments among public universities nationwide for the past two decades. The State of New Jersey employs more than 40,000 individuals in chemistry and pharmaceutics-related companies, making it the 8th largest producer of chemicals in the nation and a leader in US science and technology.
