Hi All,
Information pertaining to an open Faculty Position at Purdue University
can be found below.
Position:
Tenure-track Faculty Position in Muscle Biology with emphasis in research
(primary) and teaching (secondary).
Position Description:
The Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University is seeking a highly
qualified individual to fill a tenure track Assistant Professor position
in muscle biology to complete the spectrum of researchers across our basic
cell biologists and applied meat science group. The successful candidate
will develop an internationally recognized research program in muscle
biology that applies cutting-edge cell and molecular biology approaches
to address issues central to animal agriculture and human health.
Individuals with research programs focused on molecular aspects of muscle
cell energy utilization and metabolism; muscle protein production and
turnover; or extra-/intra- cellular mechanisms regulating fetal and/or
postnatal muscle growth using one or more mammalian or avian model
systems are of particular interest. In addition to establishing and
maintaining a productive and well-funded research program, successful
candidates are expected to develop and teach undergraduate and graduate
level courses; and advise undergraduate and graduate students.
Opportunities for collaboration exist on many levels within the department
and across the university. State-of-the-art research infrastructure and
classroom space are available in the new Creighton Hall of Animal Sciences
and Land O’ Lakes Center for Experiential Learning. Excellent core
facilities exist on campus including imaging, high throughput screening,
proteomics, metabolite profiling, bioinformatics, high-performance
computing, and transgenic animal facilities.

Agriculture, one of the world’s leading colleges of agricultural, food,
life, and natural resource sciences and ranked sixth in the US in the
2019 QS World University Rankings. The College is deeply committed to
the three land-grant missions (teaching, research, and extension), to
