Assistant Professor (Molecular, Cell, Developmental Biology)
About The Position
The Department of Biology at UNC Chapel Hill is searching to hire a tenure track Assistant Professor to study critical questions in Molecular, Cellular, Developmental, or Microbial Biology. We seek candidates who focus on molecular mechanisms that illuminate fundamental aspects of the biology of cells and organisms, including their interactions with the environment. We seek candidates who work across scales, using transdisciplinary approaches including genetic, molecular biology, cellular biology, biochemistry and/or genomic approaches. Research programs that leverage model experimental systems and/or have direct relevance to human disease are particularly desirable. All candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, have post-doctoral research experience, and be committed to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Successful candidates are expected to build an active research group, contribute to Department of Biology activities, secure competitive external funding, and participate actively in the broad scientific community at UNC -CH. Successful candidates will have opportunities for synergy with other units at UNC such as the curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology, the Curriculum in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, the Cell Biology and Physiology Curriculum, the Environment, Ecology, and Energy Program, the Department of Earth Marine and Environmental Sciences, the Department of Applied Physical Sciences, the NC Botanical Garden and Herbarium, the School of Data and Information Sciences, the Institute of Convergent Sciences, the Galapagos Center, the Institute for the Environment, and the Carolina Biodiversity Collaborative.
