PURDUE UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE
ACADEMIC POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
SOLIDS NMR SPECTROSCOPIST
POSITION: Tenure-track faculty position in NMR spectroscopy as applied to
food and agriculture involving fundamental and applied research and teaching.
LOCATION: Department of Food Science,
1160 Smith Hall,
Purdue University,
West Lafayette, IN 47907-1160
APPOINTMENT AND SALARY: Assistant or Associate Professor on a 10-month
appointment. Salary commensurate with experience. Up to three months
supplemental salary from external funding is possible. Appointment will
be 70% research, 20% teaching, 10% extension.
QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in physical chemistry, biophysics, food science,
or a related discipline with an emphasis on solids NMR spectroscopy
applied to biological materials. Good teaching, communication,
interactive skills, and a desire to work with companies on practical
problems are essential.
RESPONSIBILITIES: The person selected for the position will be expected
to establish an innovative research program in solids NMR spectroscopy of
biological materials. Examples of areas of investigation are examination
of behavioral characteristics of starches, food gums, and other
biopolymers; textures and stabilities of food products; identification
and quantitation of individual components; determinations of molecular
events underlying the functionalities of individual components; and
changes in composition of phases over time. The person is expected to
conduct fundamental research related to practical problems, to
collaborate with other faculty of the Department of Food Science and the
School of Agriculture and with scientists from food and food ingredient
companies, to secure external research funding, and to supervise the
Food Science NMR facility. Teaching expectations include a graduate
course in the area of specialization and, perhaps, a general course in
the physical chemistry of foods.
STARTING DATE: open
APPLICATION DEADLINE: until the position is filled.
APPLICATION: Send letter of application; curriculum vitae; the names,
