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适用于Nigms的恢复法案赠款（RFA-OD-09-005），以招募染色质结构和功能生物化学领域的终身轨道助理教授。该部门确定了大学缺乏这一重要学科，并于2008年9月获得了迪恩·詹姆斯·马达拉（Dean James Madara）的许可，可在该领域招募该部门，该领域是该系和大学的小说。随后，迪恩·马达拉（Dean Madara）要求我们由于资金短缺而停止搜索。招聘将是由分子遗传学和细胞生物学系（MGCB）与基因组学和系统生物学研究所（IGSB）以及生物化学与分子生物学系（BMB）一起领导的协调努力。该新兵将在MGCB中任命主要任命，并有可能根据利益成为IGSB的会员资格。已经成立了一个核心搜索委员会，由MGCB，BMB和IGSB的关键教师组成，对染色质和基因表达感兴趣。该职位将在主要的科学期刊上做广告，并将强调大学对少数民族和妇女的申请感兴趣。新调查员将获得博士学位。或M.D.学位，是杰出的出版记录，以及在染色质生物化学/蛋白质组学领域的先驱实验室中的几年的博士后经验。潜在的新兵将安置在MGCB内完全翻新的空间中。最新的研究设施基本上涵盖了每种当前方法，都可以在生物科学划分的年轻研究者中使用。 MGCB的初级教职员工的指导计划将在与主席协商后的需求中精简。如果NIH授予我们招募ARRA，那么生物科学系的院长致力于补充头两年，并将此任期职位的资金延长了两年及以后。
