The Hormel Institute, a biomedical research center of the University of Minnesota, was established in 1942 and has a long reputation in producing world class medical research. The Institute’s research success has resulted in a major expansion of its research facilities and includes a new state of the art laboratory building and complete renovation of existing research facilities. The Hormel Institute offers its research scientists complete access to state of the art equipment that includes a FACS cell sorter, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, protein crystallography robotics and defraction system, nano-HPLC-AB SCIEX triple TOF 5600 mass spectrometry, and a Blue Gene/L and 3 racks of Linux GPU supercomputers for computational biology. In conjunction with the building expansion will be the addition of three (3) new faculty positions. We are seeking applications for faculty appointments at the levels of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor, and/or Endowed Professor.

Qualifications: Candidates must demonstrate the ability to establish an independent, extramurally funded program of cancer-related research that will complement ongoing programs. Preference will be given to applicants with a strong background in areas to include molecular/cell biology, protein crystallography, biological computation/informatics, stem cell, or cancer biology and a successful research record in one of the following areas: signal transduction, gene expression, functional genomics, molecular carcinogenesis, chemoprevention or other areas of cancer research. A Ph.D. (or equivalent) degree and 2 to 3 years of postdoctoral experience are required for Assistant Professor, and external funding is preferred.
