The Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences has initiated 
a major drive to recruit faculty to fill our new highly 
interactive and cross-disciplinary research centers.

The Center for Cell Dynamics is recruiting faculty who will develop and apply new approaches to analyze the spatially and temporally regulated molecular events in living cells, tissues and organisms.  The CCD cuts across traditional departmental boundaries with the common goal of monitoring dynamic biochemical reactions –including cytokinesis, cell motility, neural plasticity, and the immunological synapse– in real time with the highest possible spatial resolution. Faculty will reside in new laboratories in the Basic Science research complex and receive primary appointments in existing Departments within the School of Medicine.

The Center for Metabolism and Obesity Research is recruiting faculty interested in applying in vitro and in vivo models to further our understanding of the regulation of energy sensing, nutrient sensing, and endocrine responses and how these processes are altered by disease. CMOR’s mission is to study and support integrative, multidisciplinary research in the field of metabolism and systems biology. Our objective is to advance our knowledge of the biological mechanisms that regulate metabolism and how they are dysregulated in attendant disorders, such as obesity and diabetes.

Applicants should submit an application by January 15, 2008 via email ( IBBScenters@jhmi.edu). Include a CV, research plan, names of three references and up to three publications (all in pdf format). Indicate desired center (CCD or CMOR) in the subject line.

The Johns Hopkins University is committed to diversity and equality in education and employment and encourages applications from under-represented groups
