The Department of Molecular Biology and Microbiology at CWRU School of Medicine is continuing its expansion under our Chair, Dr. Jonathan Karn. We are currently seeking applications for Associate/Full Professor level positions. We encourage applications from highly qualified individuals with demonstrated experience in the areas of:

• Molecular Virology: Fundamental aspects of Virology (e.g. molecular mechanisms in viral replication; virus assembly and maturation; control of latency; host cell interactions; virus entry mechanisms; viral diversity and immune evasion).
• Cancer Virology: Basic virology leading to a fundamental understanding of the molecular basis for tumorigenesis. This includes interests in the discovery of new human pathogens, viral etiology of cancer, viral models for cancer.

Successful candidates will establish a vigorous research program, participate in teaching activities, and interact productively with a nationally-ranked team of basic and clinical scientists interested in the overall areas of HIV/AIDS and host-pathogen interactions, microbiology and infectious diseases.

We stress excellence in research and in teaching.

• Candidates at the Full Professor level should have a Ph.D., an outstanding record of scholarly achievement and record of leadership and service at the national or international level in the profession, and a record of sustained Federal funding.
• Candidates at the Associate Professor level should have a Ph.D., a substantial publication record and an established reputation for professional excellence, and a record of sustained Federal funding.

In addition to newly refurbished laboratory space and a generous start-up package, we offer a highly interactive environment with exceptional intellectual, infrastructural, and administrative support. All candidates should have a Ph.D. and relevant post-doctoral experience, and a record of funding, active research program and a national reputation. Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience.

Please submit an online application including a letter of application, curriculum vitae, brief statement of research goals and accomplishments, and 3 references as PDF files to: Jonathan Karn, Ph.D., Chair; Virology Search Committee at: http://sunshine.case.edu/mvcvsearch/index.htm.
