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. All applications must be submitted on-line at njit.jobs, referencing posting
