Description
The Thomas C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics (https://biophysics.jhu.edu/) invites applications for tenure-track appointments at the assistant professor level. We encourage applicants who seek to understand the physical chemistry, structure, function, and assembly of biomolecules, their integration into subcellular and cellular structures, and time-dependent processes spanning molecular and cellular scales. We encourage the use of theory and computation as well as experiment, and welcome applicants who use machine-learning and artificial intelligence methods to enhance their research programs. We also encourage applicants in advanced imaging, cryo-ET, cryo-EM, and high-throughput biophysics, which are emerging areas of strength at Johns Hopkins. Successful applicants will join a vibrant and collaborative biophysics community at Johns Hopkins which includes both the T.C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics in Arts & Sciences and the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry at the School of Medicine.
