The City University of New York (CUNY) is the nation's largest urban public university. CUNY provides outstanding and innovative cross-disciplinary research and training opportunities in areas of urgent societal importance and takes pride in being a national leader in enabling upward socio-economic mobility for a diverse student body. The Graduate Center is the focal point for graduate research at CUNY. With over 35 doctoral and master’s programs, the Graduate Center fosters pioneering research and scholarship in the arts and sciences and prepares students for careers in universities and the private, nonprofit, and government sectors.
The Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), a new 200,000 square-foot state of the art research facility in upper Manhattan, was purposely built to elevate interdisciplinary STEM research and education across CUNY. The ASRC hosts five research initiatives: structural biology, nanoscience, photonics, neuroscience, and environmental science. In addition to the twenty tenure-line faculty members doing research in their laboratories, research efforts are supported by 15 core facilities run by dedicated, expert research professors and that attract over 1,000 users from nearby academic, non-profit, and industrial institutions. After nine years, the ASRC is now widely regarded as a unique and leading interdisciplinary research center through the breadth of its research activities, its high-end core facilities, and the deliberate cross-fertilization of research, providing unique opportunities to cultivate and support interdisciplinary research and graduate training.
The Structural Biology Initiative, operates over two floors in the ASRC building, and houses state-of-the-art facilities, including equipment and expertise in biomolecular NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, and electron microscopy. Eight tenure-track and research faculty members along with the 25 members of their labs contribute to a vibrant, interactive, and supportive community that push the frontiers of their fields via their own work and their collaborations.
The Structural Biology Initiative also proudly contributes to the international-level resources and activities of the surrounding intellectual community in this field, particularly via interactions with colleagues and facilities in the neighbouring City College of New York (CCNY) and New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC).
The Structural Biology Initiative of the Advanced Science Research Center at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York is seeking a full-time tenure-track faculty member to join in Fall 2024.
