ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITION<br>
THEORETICAL BIOPHYSICS<br>
THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE<br>
<br>
<br>
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee<br>
(UT) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the<br>
rank of Assistant Professor in the field of Theoretical Biophysics.<br>
Candidates should have a PhD in Physics or another field closely related<br>
to Physics. The candidate is expected to have a strong research record in<br>
Theoretical Biophysics and is expected to develop a first-class, externally funded research program, to provide training for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and to contribute to the teaching mission of the department at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.<br>
<br>
The preferred expertise of the candidate should be in the broad area<br>
of Soft Matter Physics applied to living systems, including but not<br>
limited to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, cellular biomechanics,<br>
multi-scale molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, and polymer<br>
physics. A strong interest in interacting with ongoing programs at UT,<br>
such as computational physics and theoretical condensed matter physics<br>
research, is highly desirable. The appointment is expected to begin<br>
August 1, 2017.<br>
<br>
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is Tennesse's flagship State<br>
research institution, a campus of choice for outstanding undergraduates,<br>
and a premier graduate institution. The successful candidate will benefit<br>
greatly from available computational resources, the location on campus<br>
of the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis<br>
(NIMBioS), and by the proximity to unique research facilities at Oak Ridge<br>
National Laboratory, including the Joint Institutes for Computational<br>
Sciences, Biological Sciences, Advanced Materials, and Neutron Sciences.<br>
<br>
The University welcomes and honors people of all races, creeds, cultures,<br>
and sexual orientations, and values intellectual curiosity, pursuit of<br>
knowledge, and academic freedom and integrity. The Knoxville campus of<br>
the University of Tennessee is seeking candidates who have the ability<br>
to contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals<br>
of the University. Applicants should send a CV, list of publications,<br>
a description of research and teaching experience, a proposed research<br>
program, and also arrange for at least three letters of reference to be<br>
submitted separately. All application materials should be submitted via<br>
email to <a href="https://apply.interfolio.com/36843" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apply.interfolio.com/3<wbr>6843</a> . Only electronic applications will be considered and acceptable file formats are .pdf or .docx. To guarantee consideration please submit all materials by<br>
December 1, 2016 when the first round of applications will be reviewed. Applications after that date will still be accepted until February 1, 2017 when the search closes.<br>
