Job Description Summary

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry invites exceptional
applicants with a Ph.D. degree, postdoctoral experience in
chemistry, biochemistry or related areas, and an established
research program to be the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Structural
Biology at Miami University.

Job Description

Candidates at the Associate or Full Professor rank should lead an
established research program and demonstrate a strong record of
external funding. Candidates at the Assistant rank must demonstrate
exceptional potential for building a funded program and expertise
in utilizing high-field NMR. While candidates of all ranks will be
considered, priority will be given to those with an established
independent research program and a successful record of securing
and maintaining external funding. The successful candidate will be
a principal user of the high-field NMR facility, with a research
program that actively utilizes and supports the instrumentation's
ongoing operations. The Department's high field NMR facility
features NMR spectrometers at 850 and 600 MHz.

Duties will include directing undergraduate, masters, and doctoral
students; maintaining an internationally recognized, externally
funded research program and participating in service to the
institution.

While most appointments will be made at the candidate's current
rank, applicants with an extraordinary record of scholarship,
external funding, and academic leadership may be considered for
appointment at a higher rank at the time of hire. The successful
candidate will not currently have primary employment within the
state of Ohio.

Anticipated start date of August 2027.

The Department of Chemistry
and Biochemistry has 20 faculty members committed to excellence
in research and teaching. The department offers undergraduate
degrees in chemistry or biochemistry, as well as M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in chemistry. The department is also an integral part of
the graduate degree program in Cell, Molecular, and
Structural Biology. Research and teaching are supported by
outstanding core facilities, including the Center for
Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics.

Minimum Qualifications:

Required: Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry or closely related field
with a strong emphasis on NMR structural biology.
