University of Florida Tenure-Track Assistant Professor
maybe? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
for the posting date maybe. But we need to preserve all substantive information. The date is not substantive? It's metadata but maybe we keep as a short paragraph. We need to decide sections. We have content about role: tenure-track appointment at Assistant Professor level, possibly Associate Professor considered. Research expectations, external funding, etc. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Let's map: - About the role: description of position (tenure-track Assistant Professor, possibility for Associate, research focus, synergy with strengths, external funding, etc.) - Responsibilities: conducting cutting-edge research, mentoring graduate students, team-teaching, etc. - Requirements/Qualifications: PhD or equivalent in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field; demonstrated ability to obtain external funding enhances; exceptional candidates at Associate level considered. - Skills: maybe not explicit; could be research skills in metabolism, structural biochemistry, molecular biology, etc. But we should not invent. The posting lists strengths: metabolism (spatial biology, metabolomics, metabolic flux analysis, AI), structural biochemistry (cryo-EM, X-ray, NMR), molecular biology (RNA structure/function, epigenetics, gene regulation, DNA repair, replication). Those are areas of strength; could be considered desired expertise/skills. We could put under "Skills" or "Qualifications". But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? The instruction says use headings for those categories if we have content. We can have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" separate if we have distinct content. But we might just have one "Qualifications" covering PhD, external funding, etc. And maybe "Research Interests" not a standard heading. We have "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications". Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include those sections. We also have info about department strengths, facilities, achievements, commitment. That could be part of "About the role" or maybe "Department Overview". But we only allowed headings from list. Could we put under "About the role" a paragraph describing department and facilities? Yes. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about department strengths, facilities, HiPerGator, notable achievements, commitment, educational activities, etc. We must not include application instructions (the part about applying online, link, etc.) and EEO line. Also remove duplicated lines (none evident). Remove navigation etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
About the role
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the University of Florida College of Medicine invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level, with exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level also considered. The successful candidate will conduct cutting‑edge research in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology that synergizes with current department strengths, and demonstrated ability to obtain external funding will enhance the application.
Responsibilities
- Perform independent, high‑impact research in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
- Mentor graduate students and research fellows.
- Participate in team‑teaching at graduate and professional levels.
- Contribute to the department’s research atmosphere and collaborative environment.
Qualifications
- PhD or equivalent degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a broadly‑related field.
- Evidence of ability to secure external research funding (preferred).
- Expertise in one or more of the department’s current strengths: metabolism (spatial biology, metabolomics, metabolic flux analysis, artificial intelligence), structural biochemistry (cryo‑EM, X‑ray crystallography, NMR), or molecular biology (RNA structure/function, epigenetics, gene regulation, DNA repair, replication).
About the Department
but not allowed heading. We could incorporate department details into About the role or Responsibilities. Perhaps we add another section "Department Overview" but not allowed. So we must fit into allowed headings. Could we add a "Benefits" section? No, not present. Could we add "Skills" heading for expertise? Already have qualifications includes expertise. Could we add a separate "Skills" heading for technical skills? Might be thin. Better to incorporate department strengths, facilities, achievements, commitment into About the role paragraph(s). Let's expand About the role to include department description. Thus:About the role
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the University of Florida College of Medicine invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level, with exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level also considered. The successful candidate will conduct cutting‑edge research in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology that synergizes with current department strengths, and demonstrated ability to obtain external funding will enhance the application.
The department offers a growing, vibrant research environment with a newly appointed chairperson, 15 research‑intense tenure‑track faculty (including four recent hires), and plans for additional future hires. Current strengths include metabolism (spatial biology, metabolomics, metabolic flux analysis, AI), structural biochemistry (cryo‑EM, X‑ray crystallography, NMR), and molecular biology (RNA structure/function, epigenetics, gene regulation, DNA repair, replication). Faculty have access to world‑class facilities such as the AMRIS NMR/MRI center, CSB structural biology core, CASBR mass spectrometry, CEG epigenetics core, the McKnight Brain Institute for neuroscience, and cancer research resources. In partnership with Nvidia, UF operates HiPerGator, one of the largest university‑based supercomputing facilities, emphasizing AI in biomedical research. Notable achievements include the NCI designation for the UF Health Cancer Institute, UF surpassing $1.33 billion in annual research spending, and ranking #4 among public universities in TIME’s America’s Best Colleges 2027. The department is part of the broader Biomedical Sciences program within the College of Medicine, which comprises eight fundamental science departments. UF and the College of Medicine are committed to fostering employees’ personal and professional growth through tools, resources, and training, and welcome candidates who can contribute to the university’s vision and mission, including the College of Medicine’s strategic plan.
That covers a lot. Now Responsibilities: we already have. Qualifications: we have PhD, funding expertise, expertise in strengths. We might also include "Skills" heading for specific technical skills like cryo-EM, NMR, etc. But we already covered in qualifications. Could we keep qualifications as is and not add Skills. We must not include Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Now ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. We must not include any application instructions. We removed the link etc. Check for any leftover boilerplate: "UF is an equal opportunity employer." removed. "View All Job Postings >>" removed. "Please Plan To Submit The Following In PDF Format ..." removed. "Applications will be reviewed beginning October 14, 2026, and the search will continue until the position is filled." That's part of application instructions? It's about timeline; maybe considered application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. That line is about review timeline; could be considered part of application process. Safer to remove it. Also "Applications and nominations will be kept confidential." remove. "Inquiries and nominations can be sent to Professor Linda Bloom, lbloom@ufl.edu
