The Department of Biological Sciences is committed to equity and inclusion and is actively working to increase diversity amongst its faculty. Members of groups historically underrepresented in biology and those from non-traditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. Additionally, evidence of a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion through research, teaching, or service will be valued. Job Requirements: The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in Biology or a related field as well as relevant postdoctoral experience and will join a diverse biology department with over 30 tenured/tenure-track and teaching faculty members. They will be expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program that contributes to our designation as an R1 institution through the training and mentorship of PhD and MS students and will also contribute to the department's teaching mission by instructing both undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of expertise.
