Faculty Positions Available

Virology
The Department of Microbiology at U.T. Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas is seeking new faculty in molecular virology at the Assistant Professor (tenure track) level.  This will be a "rolling" search that continues until all positions are filled.  Faculty will be expected to develop front-rank, competitive, independent research programs that focus on one or more aspects of the viral life cycle (host-pathogen interactions, viral pathogenesis, disruption of viral replication, command of host cell processes, viral immunology, etc.) that will complement existing strengths in HCV, poliovirus, West Nile virus, HIV/SIV, KSHV, and viral oncogenesis.  Research on any virus of medical relevance or that may be a potential biothreat is of interest.  The candidate also is expected to contribute to the teaching of medical and graduate students.  Attractive start-up packages, including a competitive salary and new laboratory space, are available to conduct research in an expanding, dynamic environment.  For exceptional candidates, an Endowed Scholars Program offers start-up funds of $700,000 (plus $300,000 towards salary support) over a four-year period.  Candidates should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree with at least three years of postdoctoral experience and an exceptional publication record.  Candidates please forward a c.v., three letters of recommendation, two or three representative publications, and a brief summary of future research to Dr. Michael V. Norgard, Chair, Department of Microbiology, U.T. Southwestern Medical Center, 6000 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, TX 75390-9048 (michael.norgard@utsouthwestern.edu).
