| Position Description: |
The Department of Chemistry at Stony Brook University seeks to hire a tenure track faculty member at the assistant/associate professor level to begin Fall 2020 with expertise in synthetic organic chemistry and with a strong interest in developing radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The new faculty member is expected to establish or have established a vibrant, extramurally-funded research program, and must have a Ph.D. from an accredited institution in chemistry or a closely related field, and postdoctoral experience. Candidates must have demonstrated excellence in innovative research and have a strong commitment to teaching undergraduate and graduate chemistry. Stony Brook University has made a major
investment in the facilities and instrumentation for PET imaging including the
installation of a Siemens Biograph mMR human MR-PET scanner, human and
preclinical PET/CT scanners, and construction of a GMP radiotracer synthesis
lab for labeling with PET nuclides such as fluorine-18. In addition, the
Medical and Research Translation building recently opened, which is a focal
point for translational research and bioimaging, and which houses a cyclotron
and radiotracer synthesis facility. Support for cross-campus collaborative research
is underpinned by the Institute for Chemical Biology & Drug Discovery
(ICB&DD), the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology, and the
Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS), while the NIH-funded
Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program and an NSF Research
Traineeship (NRT) Award provide an additional level of connectivity
between chemistry and departments across campus both within the College of Arts
and Sciences, as well as the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and
the School of Medicine. Faculty in the
department are also members of two DOE-funded Energy Frontier Research Centers.
Stony Brook University is close to
Brookhaven National Lab which operates the National Synchrotron Light Source
II, and Stony Brook Medicine recently affiliated with the Mount Sinai Health
System, providing new opportunities for collaborative science.
Candidates should submit a complete curriculum vitae, including publication list, proposal research plans, and teaching interest. Applicants for Assistant Professor should also arrange to have three letters of recommendation submitted electronically via AcademicJobsOnline (15121). Application review will begin in Fall 2019 and will continue until the position is filled. Stony Brook University is an Affirmative/Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. |
