Faculty position available at NJIT – Complex Biological Systems

The Department of Biological Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology invites applications for a tenure-track, full time Assistant or Associate Professor position in the general area of complex biological systems. We seek candidates who will examine biological systems at any level, from cells to ecosystems, with an integrative view across levels. The candidate should use state-or-the-art technologies, including, but not limited to, molecular biology, cellular biology, genomics, proteomics, phenomics, transcriptomics, remote/optical sensing, and/or organismal tracking, to collect and analyze laboratory and/or field experimental data. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent, postdoctoral training, demonstrated research expertise, and a history of, or potential for, successful extramural funding. Candidates that link genetic, molecular, or cellular mechanisms to ecological outcomes are particularly encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop a strong, externally funded and independent research program, and must demonstrate potential for teaching excellence at undergraduate and graduate levels. The candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with ecologists, evolutionary biologists, neuroscientists and cell biologists in the Department of Biological Sciences, as well as engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists at NJIT and surrounding institutions.
Applicants should submit a single PDF document containing a cover letter, a CV, a brief statement of current and proposed research plans, and a teaching statement. The document should also include 5-7 keywords that best describe the applicant’s research interests, and a link to their Google Scholar page.
