    <![CDATA[The merging Departments of Plant Cellular & Molecular Biology and Molecular Genetics at The Ohio State University, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary Plant Molecular Biology/Biotechnology (PMBB) program, invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position. Appointment at the Assistant Professor level is preferred, but outstanding candidates at senior levels will also be considered. This position is part of a new campus-wide Targeted Investment in Excellence initiative awarded to the PMBB Program in Translational Plant Sciences. Successful applicants are expected to develop an outstanding research program and to participate in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants with expertise in any areas of plant molecular, cellular, biochemical, developmental, genomics and systems biology are encouraged to apply. Research programs addressing fundamental problems of bioenergy, bioproducts, carbon sequestration or plant-microbe interactions are of particular interest. 

Plant science is an expanding area of research at the university (see other plant-related positions at http://hcs.osu.edu/index.php/useful-links/news-stories/front-page/143-assistant-professor-of-plant-biochemistry and http://orsp.osu.edu/). Departmental faculty members also participate in numerous campus-wide programs, centers and focus groups that include PMBB, the Plant Biotechnology Center, the Molecular Plant-Microbe Interaction Group, the Cell Biology Group, the Developmental Genetics Group, the Center for RNA Biology, the Institute for Energy and the Environment, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute and the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center. 

The Ohio State University is the flagship institution of the higher education system in Ohio. It is located in Columbus, the state capital, which is a vibrant large city that has been continuously ranked as one of the country's best places to live and work. Further information about the departments, PMBB, the university and Columbus can be obtained at http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~plantbio/plantbio.html (Plant Cellular & Molecular Biology), http://www.osumolgen.org (Molecular Genetics) and http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~pmbb/ (PMBB). Flexible work options are available. 

Candidates with a Ph.D. and suitable postdoctoral experience should submit applications including curriculum vitae, a 3 page or less research plan and a brief description of teaching experience and interests. Candidates for consideration at the Assistant Professor level should also arrange to have at least 3 reference letters submitted. Electronic applications and reference letters to pbsearch@biosci.osu.edu are preferred, but paper copies may also be sent to Search Committee Chair, Dept. of Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology, Ohio State University, 500 Aronoff Laboratory, 318 West 12th Ave., Columbus, OH  43210-1242. Review of applications will begin November 15, 2009 and continue until a suitable candidate is identified.

To build a diverse workforce Ohio State encourages applications from individuals with disabilities, minorities, veterans, and women. EEO/AA Employer. Ohio State is an NSF Advance institution.]]>
