The Department of Biochemistry at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø invites applications for the Director of the Center for RNA Science and Therapeutics. The center (formerly the Center for RNA Molecular Biology, established in 2001) was established in the mid-nineties in recognition of the strong cadre of research laboratories at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø devoted to studying post-transcriptional mechanisms of gene expression focusing on various aspects of RNA Biology. The Center represents one of the largest concentrations of researchers focused on RNA-related work in the US, comprising research groups from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, The Cleveland Clinic, and Cleveland State University. The new Director will provide scientific leadership to build interactive research leveraging these diverse city-wide resources and opportunities in basic and translational RNA research. A special emphasis is placed on how these areas pertain to fundamental aspects of human diseases.
