91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳

The Department of Biology at the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in cell, molecular, and developmental biology at the rank of assistant professor.

About the Position

We are seeking outstanding candidates whose research programs address fundamental biological problems and who have demonstrated excellence, originality, and productivity in research. The Department of Biology is a collegial, multidisciplinary department which affords opportunities for intellectual interactions across diverse research disciplines. Research areas in the department include aging, intracellular transport, proteomics, chromatin biology, DNA repair, RNA biochemistry, transposable elements, biological imaging, synthetic biology, development, and evolutionary biology. For this search, all areas of cell, developmental, and molecular biology will be considered. However, candidates whose research programs complement one of the three designated growth areas in the department (quantitative cell biology, aging research and advanced imaging) are particularly encouraged to apply.

About the Program

Our research and graduate programs are integrated into a world-class life sciences research campus that provides ample opportunities for interactions and collaborations with the adjacent 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Medical Center. Faculty research is supported by University initiatives including the Institute for Data Science, the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Aging Institute, the Center for RNA Biology, the Stem Cell Institute, and the Wilmot Cancer Institute. Research activities across the University are supported by core facilities for imaging, proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, computation, small molecule screening, and flow cytometry.

How to Apply

Application materials should be uploaded at . Complete applications should include:

• Cover letter
• Curriculum vitae including publication list
