DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology is applying to the NIGMS for a Recovery Act grant (RFA-OD-09-005) to recruit a tenure track Assistant Professor in the area of Biochemistry of Chromatin Structure and Function. The department had determined the lack of this important discipline at the University and had obtained permission from Dean James Madara in September 2008 to recruit in this area, novel for the Department and the University. Subsequently, Dean Madara requested that we stop this search because of a shortage of funds. Recruitment will be a coordinated effort led by the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology (MGCB), together with the Institute of Genomics and Systems Biology (IGSB) and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB). The recruit will have a primary appointment in MGCB with the potential for membership in IGSB depending on interests. A core search committee has been formed consisting of key faculty in MGCB, BMB, and IGSB with interests in chromatin and gene expression. The position will be advertised in major scientific journals and will emphasize that the University is interested in applications from ethnic minorities and women. The new investigator will have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree, an outstanding publication record and several years of postdoctoral experience in a laboratory that is a pioneer in chromatin biochemistry/proteomics. The potential recruit will be housed in completely renovated space within MGCB. Up-to-date research facilities that cover essentially every current methodology will be available to the young investigator within the Division of Biological Sciences. A mentoring plan for junior faculty is in place in MGCB and will be streamlined for the needs of the recruit in consultation with the chair. If NIH grants us an ARRA to recruit, the Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences is committed to supplement the first two years and to extend funding for this tenure track position for additional two years and beyond.

描述（由申请人提供）：分子遗传学和细胞生物学系正在向 NIGMS 申请恢复法案拨款 (RFA-OD-09-005)，以招聘染色质结构生物化学领域的终身教授助理教授功能。该系已确定该大学缺乏这一重要学科，并于 2008 年 9 月获得了院长詹姆斯·马达拉 (James Madara) 的许可，可以在这一领域进行招聘，这对于该系和大学来说都是新颖的。随后，马达拉院长以资金短缺为由要求我们停止这次搜寻。招募工作将由分子遗传学和细胞生物学系（MGCB）、基因组学和系统生物学研究所（IGSB）以及生物化学和分子生物学系（BMB）共同领导。新聘人员将在 MGCB 中获得主要任命，并根据兴趣有可能成为 IGSB 成员。已经成立了一个核心搜索委员会，由 MGCB、BMB 和 IGSB 对染色质和基因表达感兴趣的主要教师组成。该职位将在主要科学期刊上刊登广告，并强调大学对少数民族和女性的申请感兴趣。新研究员将拥有博士学位。或医学博士学位，出色的发表记录以及在染色质生物化学/蛋白质组学先驱实验室的多年博士后经验。潜在的新员工将被安置在 MGCB 内经过全面翻修的空间内。生物科学部的年轻研究人员将可以使用基本上涵盖所有当前方法的最新研究设施。 MGCB 制定了针对初级教员的指导计划，并将与主席协商，根据新聘人员的需求进行简化。如果 NIH 授予我们 ARRA 招募资格，生物科学系主任将致力于补充前两年的费用，并将对该终身教职职位的资助延长两年或更长时间。
