Technology (NJIT) is looking to fill two new tenure-track faculty
positions at the Assistant Professor level, beginning in 2017. We seek
applicants with either of the following profiles:
- Applicants with an interest and established record in bridging levels

areas can include - but are not limited to - ethology, microbiology,
functional ecology, or evolution. Applicants with this profile should
apply for the position at http://njit.jobs/
- Applicants with an interest and established record in bridging levels
from cell biology or physiology, to systems or organismic function.
Research areas can include - but are not limited to - neurobiology,
ethology, evolution, or development. Applicants with this profile should

the Department.
NJIT
is a tier-one public research university located in Newark, NJ, with an
emphasis on STEM subjects. The Department of Biological Sciences at
NJIT currently consists of ten research faculty with expertise in
neurobiology, sensory and motor systems, locomotion, collective
behavior, and functional and spatial ecology. The Department is also
Federated with neighboring Rutgers-University Newark, adding colleagues
in cellular neurobiology, cell signaling, genetics, systematics,
evolution and ecology. The successful applicant will occupy customizable
space in a newly renovated research facility. Duties will also include
teaching introductory and upper-level undergraduate and graduate
courses, depending on expertise. NJIT is an equal-opportunity employer.
Applications from minorities and women are especially welcome.
