Dear colleagues,
Apologies for any duplicate mailings.
The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University

biochemistry, including signal transduction, membrane biology,
metabolism, gene expression and regulation, and cytoskeletal
organization. We are particularly interested in individuals who study
plant systems. The successful candidate will be expected to
contribute to ongoing interdisciplinary programs focused on renewable
energy, cellular engineering, and research at the interface of
chemistry and biology. He/she will have access to students from
several interdepartmental graduate programs and will be expected to
participate in teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
The Five College Consortium, comprised of Smith College, Amherst
College, Mount Holyoke College, Hampshire College, and the University

diversity of the faculty, student body, and curriculum.
Applicants should send curriculum vitae, a description of research
interests, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent
electronically to: Prof. Jennifer Normanly at bmbsearch from biochem.umass.edu
or BMB Search, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, LGRT 913, 710 N.
