The Department of Biochemistry at the Medical College of Wisconsin invites applications for tenure-track positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. We are seeking individuals to establish internationally leading programs that apply the tools of chemical biology and/or medicinal chemistry (e.g. structure-based methods for drug discovery, combinatorial chemistry, hit-to-lead optimization, drug development, and chemoproteomics) to topics of biomedical relevance. Candidates with research interests in epigenetics (e.g. histone binding/modifying proteins), G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, and antimicrobial or anticancer agents are especially encouraged to apply. Competitive salary support and a generous benefits package and start-up funds will be provided as well as outstanding opportunities for collaboration with basic, translational, and clinical investigators.

Who are we looking for? Applicants must have a doctoral degree in chemistry, biochemistry or related discipline, at least two years of postdoctoral training, a strong publication record in designing and synthesizing small molecule inhibitors and chemical probes to investigate biomolecules of therapeutic relevance, and the potential to obtain extramural funding. MCW intends to attract, develop, and retain a diverse workforce and faculty body that reflects the community we serve and strongly encourages applications from individuals in groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. MCW is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in hiring or employment based on age, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, veteran status, disability, or sexual orientation.

How do you apply? Review of applications will commence on November 1, 2021 and continue until positions are filled. For inquiries, contact Dr. Brian Smith, Chair, Chemical Biology Recruitment Committee (brismith@mcw.edu). To apply, send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, copies of key publications, and three reference letters electronically in pdf format to: chembio@mcw.edu
