Faculty Positions in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology

 

In a new era of growth the Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation is recruiting for two new faculty positions in the coming year. OMRF is a private nonprofit research institute that provides state-of-the-art core facilities, and a relaxed, interactive, yet rigorous research environment. We seek scientists in the early or mid stages of their careers, but talented candidates at all levels will be considered. Candidates must have completed postdoctoral training and be prepared to develop a vigorous, independent research program in an area of basic biological science. Researchers who apply modern genetic, cell biological, developmental, and translational approaches in model organisms, and those who utilize advanced microscopy techniques are of particular interest. Those whose research interests and objectives might complement current research programs at OMRF are encouraged to apply. Investigators at OMRF enjoy close scientific interactions and opportunities for mentoring graduate students at the adjacent University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Successful candidates will receive modern laboratory facilities for their use, a generous multi-year start-up package, continuous salary support, and access to our outstanding core facilities. For information about our program, go to www.OMRF.org/mcdb Applications should be sent by email to Ms. Adrienne Gidley at Adrienne-Gidley@omrf.ouhsc.edu Preliminary, confidential inquiries may be addressed to Dr. Gary J. Gorbsky at GJG@omrf.ouhsc.edu or Dr. Kenneth G. Miller at millerk@omrf.ouhsc.edu.
