Faculty position in computational and theoretical biophysics.

As part of a strategic investment for a transformative expansion of the faculty of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, Biophysics at Johns Hopkins is poised for significant growth in the coming years. To this end, the Thomas C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics (

invites applications for tenure/tenure-track appointments at all ranks in the fields of theoretical and computational biophysics. We encourage applicants who seek to understand the physical chemistry, structure, function, and assembly of biomolecules, their integration into subcellular and cellular structures, and time-dependent processes spanning molecular and cellular scales. We welcome candidates who use machine-learning and artificial intelligence methods to enhance their research programs. We seek faculty colleagues who have an established interest in promoting equity and inclusion among diverse scientists.

Qualifications

A PhD and postdoctoral experience or equivalent are required.
