The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at the Assistant, Associate or Professor level. This position is anticipated to be the first of three new faculty positions in Nanoscience at the School of Mines in the broad area of nanophotonics. The position is in support of a newly-formed statewide research center, The Biochemical Spatiotemporal NeTwork Resource (BioSNTR), focusing Ｏn advanced fluorescence and optical imaging methods to leverage bioinformatics towards the understanding and control of signaling networks in living systems. BioSNTR is a collaboration between research university partners South Dakota State University, the University of South Dakota, and the South Dakota School of Mines, with industrial partners at Sanford Research and Avera Research Institute. As a member of BioSNTR, the successful candidate will be provided a competitive salary and start-up package, and access to center staff and shared resources, including postdoctoral scientists and technical staff. The selected candidate will be expected to contribute to the School of Mines’ Nanoscience and Nanoengineering PhD program by developing a robust extramurally funded research program, through teaching and development of graduate courses relevant to Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, and through mentoring and advising of PhD students. Individuals with a research emphasis in biophotonics, super-resolution imaging methods, computational modeling of signaling networks, and the combination of atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy for correlative imaging of bio-systems are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must possess a PhD in a science or engineering discipline closely-aligned with Nanoscience and Nanoengineering and/or Ｏne of the above-mentioned research emphases. The successful candidate will be a faculty member in an interdisciplinary doctoral program in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, with an anticipated start date of August 22, 2014. Email Steve.Smith@sdsmt.edu for further information regarding this position.
Individuals interested in this position must apply Ｏnline at http://www.sdsmt.edu/employment. Human Resources can provide accommodation to the Ｏnline application process and may be reached at (605) 394-1203. Review of applications will begin December 2, 2013, and will continue until the position is filled. Employment is contingent upon completion of a satisfactory background investigation.
