Interested in a faculty position at Stanford? If you are a creative scientist applying structural, computational, and/or biophysical approaches to biological problems, please apply for the Dept. of Structural Biologyā€™s faculty search, deadline Nov 15. Structural biology is very broadly defined here - Iā€™m on the search committee but am not a structural biologist (though we think constantly about structure and use structural approaches)! The department isĀ truly interested in creating a more diverse environment and welcomes candidates from different backgrounds. We would love to hear from you.
