Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences: Comparative Biologist
The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) invites applications for a 9-month, tenure-track faculty appointment in the Department of Biological Sciences. We seek an active researcher and educator who uses cell and molecular biology tools to study development, evolution, ecology, or neurobiology. Preferred candidates combine a strong background in cell and molecular biology with an interest in important questions in comparative and systems biology. Applicants will be expected to maintain an active, funded research program, supervise graduate and undergraduate students, teach undergraduate and graduate courses mainly in their area of expertise, and contribute to the overall activities and growth of the Department. Start date is 9/1/2023.
NJIT is a tier-one (R1) public research university located in Newark, NJ, with an emphasis on STEM fields. The successful candidate will join NJIT's Federated Department of Biological Sciences, with faculty expertise in ecology and conservation, behavioral and morphological evolutionary adaptations, systems neurobiology, phylogenetics and cellular and computational neuroscience. Most faculty also use computational approaches in part thanks to our strong ties with members of the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
Diversity is a core value of NJIT, and we are committed to make diversity, equity and inclusion, part of everything we do. We celebrate the diversity of our university community and recognize the cultural and personal differences. We strive to cultivate an inclusive campus culture that promotes excellence among our faculty, staff, and students. Building a robust and diverse community is critical to NJIT's continuing status as a premier institution of higher education and a leading polytechnic university.
