About The Position

The Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison invites applications for a full-time, 9-month, faculty position. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and its application to biological systems or development of new NMR methods and technology. We welcome candidates committed to democratizing access to NMR through community engagement, outreach, and training in the tradition of the National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison (NMRFAM). The successful candidate will join a strong and collaborative department with broad and complementary strengths across the biochemical sciences. Current research areas include structural biology, virology, metabolism, gene regulation, cell and molecular biology, chemical biology, biophysics, systems biology, synthetic biology and computational biology. The department fosters a highly interactive environment, with a culture of collaboration and intellectual exchange that supports interdisciplinary research and innovation. The scientific environment at UW–Madison provides exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration across the biological sciences, engineering, and data science. Faculty benefit from access to state-of-the-art facilities and centers, including the NMRFAM, the UW-Madison Cryo-EM Research Center, and many other advanced resources that support all aspects of biochemistry. The university’s collaborative culture and strong cross-disciplinary programs create a uniquely supportive setting for developing innovative and impactful research programs. The position is an academic (9-month) tenure-track (junior) or tenured (mid-career or senior) faculty position. The successful applicant will be expected to establish an ambitious, externally funded research program and contribute to our core missions of undergraduate and graduate teaching and service.
