ASSISTANT PROFESSORS (Tenure Track)

The Department of Physiology invites outstanding scientists with Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degrees to apply for tenure-track assistant professor positions. Candidates who use innovative optical, mechanical, electrical, molecular biological or computational methods with important applications to physiological systems, ranging from individual genes and proteins to cells and organs are encouraged to apply. However, the scientific excellence of the candidates is more important than the specific area of research.   

These positions are part of the continuing growth of the Department at one of the country's leading academic medical centers and will be supported by significant laboratory space on our new campus, competitive salaries, and exceptional start-up packages. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is the scientific home to four Nobel Prize laureates, 17 members of the National Academy of Sciences and 17 members of the Institute of Medicine. UT Southwestern conducts more than 3,500 research projects annually totaling more than $400 million.   

Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research plans, and arrange to have three letters of reference sent to:

Postdoc position - chromatin regulation of neural development

A postdoc position is available in Dr. Jiang Wu’s lab to study chromatin regulation of mammalian neural stem cell self-renewal, differentiation, as well as post-mitotic neuronal development. The immediate focus is the function of the prototypical SWI/SNF-like ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in key signaling pathways that regulate neural development (Neuron 56:94,2007; Neuron 55:171,2007). A combination of proteomics, genomics and genetic approaches will be used to investigate the molecular mechanisms of chromatin regulation of gene expression essential for neural development. For more detail, please see http://www4.utsouthwestern.edu/wulab.

Interested candidates with recent Ph. D., M.D., or equivalent degrees in biological sciences with training in molecular biology and/or cell biology should send their CV and three references to:
