UNC
Open Rank Professor, tenure track (Nutrigenomics)
UNC, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States, 27517
POSITION:
The UNC Nutrition Research Institute (NRI) and the Department of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are jointly seeking applications for up to 4 tenure-track faculty members with expertise in nutrigenetic/nutrigenomic causes of metabolic and nutritional variation. This includes, but is not limited to, nutritionally relevant genetic polymorphisms, copy number variations, epigenetic mechanisms (including non-coding RNA), microbiome-gene interactions, and genes modulating circadian rhythms in metabolism. The position can begin June 1, 2023, and is located at the UNC Chapel Hill Nutrition Research Institute on the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis, near Charlotte, NC. These are tenure-track appointments at the assistant, associate, or full professor level, depending on experience and scholarly accomplishments. The Department of Nutrition is part of the Gillings School of Global Public Health and the School of Medicine, ranked among the top 5 nutrition departments in the country. OVERVIEW:
The Nutrition Research Institute aims to understand the mechanisms behind metabolic and nutritional variability using nutrigenomic and metabolomic approaches, to explain individual responses to nutrients and diet. We seek faculty with a research program focused on the genetic and epigenetic causes of metabolic and nutritional variation, utilizing bench or epidemiologic methods in cells, animal models, or humans. This group will complement 15 existing faculty members working on personalized nutrition. Applicants should have a proven track record of NIH (or equivalent) grant funding and publications in high-quality journals. The Institute offers annual funding commitments and start-up support. The Institute is housed in a modern 125,000 sq ft facility with advanced labs, core animal facilities, outpatient human clinical facilities, and shared microscopy, genomics, and metabolomics instrumentation staffed by skilled scientists. The Institute includes 15 faculty members across three departments, with expertise in nutrition and metabolic variation. The Department of Nutrition, part of the Gillings School and the School of Medicine, offers a broad curriculum in public health sciences, covering physiological, biochemical, and behavioral aspects of nutrition and their health applications. RESPONSIBILITIES:
Develop and maintain a high-quality research program with external funding, engage in some teaching as negotiated, advise graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and participate in service activities within the Institute and Department.
