MOLECULAR IMMUNOLOGIST/IMMUNOGENETICIST,
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR/FULL PROFESSOR,
TENURE TRACK
The Department of Veterinary Pathobiology,
College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Texas
A&M University
invites applications for a tenure track, fully funded, twelve
month Associate or Full Professor position in molecular immunology
or immunogenetics. Candidate should hold a PhD in either
immunology/microbiology or genetics. A DVM degree is desirable,
but not mandatory. Applicants with interest and experience
in infectious diseases of cattle are especially encouraged
to apply. In addition, a successful track record of sustained
extramural funding, superior grantsmanship, significant publication
record, and the training of graduate students and postdoctoral
associates are required. Applicants must be eligible for
appointment to the graduate faculty at Texas A&M University.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute
75% effort in research, and have an established, extramurally
funded research program in molecular immunology of infectious
diseases and immunogenetics. It is anticipated that this
program will lead to improved understanding of host-pathogen
interactions and genetics associated with control of and
resistance to infectious diseases of animals and humans.
A major focus on immunogenetics of cattle is especially desirable.
Collaborations will be expected with other scientists studying
infectious disease problems in livestock relevant to Texas
agriculture and public health. The successful candidate will
also be expected to participate in graduate student education
(20% effort) by coordinating a course in immunogenetics and
team teaching a course in advanced immunology. The direction
of graduate students and postdoctoral scientists is also
expected. In addition, 5% effort will be allocated to academic
and administrative assignments. Rank, salary and start-up
will be contingent upon experience and national reputation.
Interested candidates should submit a statement of career
goals and research interests, curriculum vita, summary of
current and planned research support, experience in training
graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, teaching interests
and experience, and names and addresses of three individuals
that can, when requested by the search committee, provide
letters on research and teaching ability, and collegiality.
Application review will begin December 1, 2007 and continue
until the position is filled. Applications can be
sent to cvoelker@cvm.tamu.edu or
mailed to Ms. Cindy Voelker for the attention of Dr. Guan
Zhu (chair of the search committee) Department of Veterinary
