Why Biochemistry and Biophysics (BCBP) at UNC? BCBP is a premier department for basic mechanistic research into the molecular basis of biological systems with a long history of success. The well-established culture of generous cooperation in BCBP and at UNC fosters and rewards collaboration. Faculty collaborate in research projects, in mentoring students and postdocs, in team teaching, and in building a vibrant and supportive research community. In addition, UNC and the School of Medicine make substantial investments in many technologically sophisticated core facilities, in graduate and postdoc recruitment and training, and in ensuring that every individual can thrive. The Department provides professional development and leadership opportunities for students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty of all ranks. Most BCBP labs are housed in the modern Genetic Medicine Building with extensive shared equipment and an open lab format. As part of a proudly public University, we celebrate working together to build community and enhance opportunities while making ground-breaking discoveries that push the boundaries of modern science for the benefit of human health.
This outstanding research environment is embedded in Chapel Hill, part of the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. The Research Triangle includes Chapel Hill (UNC), Durham (Duke), and Raleigh (NC State), surrounding a pharmaceutical, biotech, and high-tech industry hub, plus a branch of the NIH and the EPA. We enjoy reasonable costs of living, outstanding public schools, a highly educated population (top 10 PhD/capita in the US), a local community that welcomes people from across the country and the world, mild weather, and a wide range of cultural activities (music, theater, award-winning dining, arts, sports, etc.). We are 3-4 hours from the beautiful Appalachian Mountains to the west, and we are similarly close to destination NC beaches to the east.
