Antibiotic resistance is a problem of critical global importance and new antimicrobials are urgently needed. We are seeking new approaches to understanding and overcoming antimicrobial resistance, including using chemistry, microbiology, materials science, and other approaches with an emphasis on host-pathogen interactions, antimicrobial discovery and development, antimicrobial resistance, or structural biology.
The College of Science is also searching for outstanding scientists in the field of Healthy Aging, broadly defined. Focus will be on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging with an eye towards development of new technologies aimed at preventing dysfunction, or restoring normal function, of organs and tissues with advancing chronological age. Given the complexity of the aging process, we seek applicants with research interests that span diverse disciplines and scientific approaches, ranging from fundamental aspects of organismal aging to big-data generation, mining and modeling.
