Usually 6+1 - or at least it was when I was in the system. You can apply for 
tenure earlier. It’s the adjunct positions that have increased and are crap. 
Those never tenure. In Some v fancy places - scripps is one - you are required 
to find 100 pc of your salary. This is more common in med schools - because md 
PhDs find/found it easier to get grants and could always supplement with actual 
doctoring.

At least that would be the excuse.

I must have nothing to do on a Sunday evening!

 Dear Gerlind,

Even though I am also not completely familiar with the US system, I think the 
position is for more than one year. Indefinite if you get tenure after a 
certain time (perhaps after five years). In this case the first five years are 
secure.
But the Univ only pays you for 9 months out of 12 each year. You can then pay 
yourself out of a grant for the other 3 months - if you get a grant that allows 
paying yourself of course.
Still seems a bit unfair, but at least it is not just a 9 months one time 
contract.

Best wishes,

Dear Mark,

thank you for posting this job offer, probably very interesting for people 
currently unemployed.

Personally, I feel that working conditions and job offers in the scientific 
field have deteriorated considerably in recent years.
I've always been shocked by one-year job offers involving international 
movements.
Now we seem to be down at job offers for 9 months.

From a human point of view, I find this extremely worrying.

Sorry to pollute the mailing list with my personal opinions.

All the best.

Gerlind

Dear Colleagues,

The Department of Biochemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) 
invites applications for a tenure-track nine-month (academic year) faculty 
position at the rank of Assistant Professor. Areas of particular interest 
include but are not limited to time-resolved approaches to understanding 
macromolecular function, multiscale imaging, and integrated computational and 
experimental approaches to structural biology. Researchers at UNL have 
collaborations with national user facilities pioneering time-resolved X-ray 
diffraction techniques and have established a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility 
housing a Thermo Scientific Glacios 200 keV Cryo TEM equipped with a Falcon 4i 
direct electron detector camera, a Selectris zero-loss energy filter, and 
capability for micro-electron diffraction of crystalline samples. The new 
cryo-EM facility is part of a strategic growth plan at UNL and complements 
existing strengths in X-ray crystallography, biophysics, and computation at UNL.

Review of applications will begin November 15, 2023 and continue until the 
position is filled or the search is closed. To view details of the position and 
the application, go to https://employment.unl.edu<https://employment.unl.edu/>,
