Faculty Positions in RNA Research- The University at Albany Four Faculty Positions in RNA Research The University invites applications for four tenure track Assistant Professor positions in RNA science and technology. RNA VIROLOGIST, Department of Biological Sciences: conducting research with RNA viruses in any one or more areas including but not exclusively: genome structure, mechanisms of genome replication and packaging, gene expression and regulation, host-range and cell specificity, evolution of emerging diseases. BIOINFORMATICIST/COMPUTATIONAL CHEMIST, Department of Chemistry: conducting research on the structure/function of nucleic acids (RNA in particular) through both computational and wet-lab research. CRYSTALLOGRAPHER, Department of Chemistry: conducting research on solving nucleic acid/protein structures particularly that of RNA. The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with RNA Institute researchers studying RNA structure and RNA-protein interactions. CHEMIST/BIOCHEMIST, Department of Chemistry: conducting research in RNA science and its applications in areas such as, but not limited to, modified nucleosides, synthesis, imaging, and analytical chemistries as it pertains to RNA structure/function relationships, including interactions with proteins, other RNAs, and small molecules. All positions will be affiliated with the RNA Institute (http:// www.albany.edu/rna) with state-of-the-art laboratories housed in the Life Sciences Research Building http://www.albany.edu/lifesciences. The Institute brings together more than 35 investigators from the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, the School of Public Health, and regional institutions including the Wadsworth Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Albany Medical College. This creates an outstanding environment for research collaborations. Instructional responsibilities will be consistent with the position and those of the faculty in the home department, and the interests of the candidate.
