The Department of Physics at Duke University invites applications and nominations for an Endowed Chair in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, including Biological Physics, at the tenured Full Professor level to begin on or after January 2009. We are looking for candidates who have a primary interest in the fundamental physics of hard or soft condensed matter systems and demonstrated excellence in research and teaching. The successful candidate is expected to lead a world class program and will benefit from potential overlap with current university thrusts in nanoscience, imaging, and/or optics and photonics.
Applications should include a complete curriculum vitae and publication list, and a statement of research and teaching. Application should be made via:
Additional material may be sent to: Prof. Robert Behringer, Chair of the Search Committee, c/o Florin Damian, Department of Physics, Duke University Box 90305, Durham, NC 27708-0305.
The search committee will begin evaluation of applicants on April 1, 2008. Duke University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer; we particularly encourage applications from women and minorities
Duke University seeks applications for open rank, tenure track positions in the broad field of cellular systems biology. We seek applicants from both experimental and quantitative/computational disciplines with research interests in the molecular bases of cellular function, development, and evolution. These new appointments will substantially enhance existing Duke strengths in experimental and modeling approaches to understanding the complexity of genetic, metabolic, and signaling networks. Successful applicants will have appointments in one or more Duke departments based on mutual interests. All appointees will be affiliated with the Duke Center for Systems Biology, a cross-school, campus-wide academic center that is also one of the NIH-supported National Systems Biology Centers.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a brief summary of current and proposed research, reprints of 2 or 3 key publications and a statement of teaching interests via the web at www.academicjobsonline.org. Junior candidates should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded to this website or sent directly to: Systems Biology Search, Duke University, Box 90338, Durham, NC 27708-0338. Senior candidates should give the names of three potential referees. Application review will begin on 1 December 2007, and continue until the positions are filled. Duke University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer; women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
