Colleague, I wish to draw your attention to a theoretical chemistry faculty search in my department, which is part of a larger “Data Analytics” initiative on campus, into which the University has committed significant resources. Because of the broader tie-in and the attendant layers of bureaucracy, the approval to search came relatively late, so I am sending out this blanket email. Please note that we will begin reviewing applications immediately, but the final deadline for applications is Dec. 1.
The text of the advertisement is pasted at the end of this email. Please forward this email to your postdocs or former students who are looking for academic jobs.
Thanks in advance, and best regards. John Herbert
================================== John M. Herbert, Professor Dept. of Chemistry & Biochemistry The Ohio State University 100 W. 18th Ave., Columbus, OH 43210 Office: 2114 Newman & Wolfrom (614) 292-6851 (voice) (614) 292-1685 (fax) http://www.chemistry.osu.edu/~herbert ==================================
The College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University seeks applications to fill a tenure-track faculty position in Data Analytics at the Assistant Professor level within the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The successful applicant will develop and apply novel computational methods to guide discovery of new functional materials or molecules, and/or understand the properties of complex systems. The search will consider outstanding candidates in all areas of computational chemistry, but greatest needs exist in either (i) electronic structure theory and dynamics, or (ii) computational structural biology. Ideal candidates in area (i) would address fundamental questions to enable rational design of new materials with possible applications in energy harvesting and storage, novel electronic devices, catalysis, or sensing. The ideal candidate in area (ii) would complement and extend existing and emerging experimental methods in biomolecular structure and function, with possible applications in de novo structure prediction, molecular design, or macromolecule-ligand interactions. Successful candidates will demonstrate the potential to be leaders in methods development, but also have strong ties to experiment. Ohio State has a strong tradition in theoretical and computational chemistry, with access to excellent computing resources through the Ohio Supercomputer Center (www.osc.edu). A doctoral degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry is required at the time of application. This position is partially funded by Ohio State's Discovery Themes Initiative, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact.
The Ohio State University, Ohio’s flagship institution of higher education, is located in Columbus, a growing and affordable metropolitan area of ~1.5 million people with a stable and diversified economy. Columbus is consistently ranked as one of the most attractive cities in which to live and work. General information about the University, College, and community is available through links at: http://www.osu.edu. A curriculum vitae, a description of research experience and future plans, a description of teaching interests, a list of publications, and 3 letters of recommendation should be submitted to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5049. Applications will be accepted and reviewed continuously, but to ensure a full review the application materials should be received no later than December 1, 2014.
