Position Description
The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole Massachusetts, invites applications for a tenure-track-equivalent faculty position in the field of Biological Imaging Innovation. Preference will be given to appointments at the Assistant Scientist rank (equivalent to Assistant Professor). We seek a creative and collaborative scientist who will develop a research program focused on advancing imaging technologies. The successful candidate will be expected to have expertise in innovating and building new light microscopes as a component of the research program. Expertise in biophysics or optical physics is preferred along with experience using and developing multimodal imaging platforms (e.g., advanced light microscopy, computational imaging, spectroscopy, image data analysis using AI/Machine Learning). These technologies should be designed to address fundamental biological questions in areas such as cell and developmental biology, evolution, functional genomics, physiology, neuroscience or regenerative biology, either as a specific goal of the imaging scientist, or in collaboration with other scientists at the MBL. Preference will be given to candidates with an interest in furthering MBL’s goal to expand these tools for work in newly emerging research organisms being pioneered at the MBL. The candidate would establish an independent, externally funded research program in biological imaging, microscope innovation and development, while contributing to graduate and undergraduate education. Applications For more information about the MBL, see (www.mbl.edu) The MBL is an Equal Opportunity Employer and strongly encourages applications from candidates who would contribute to an inclusive and productive research community. Those interested in the position should submit an application, including a full CV, research statement (3-5 pages), teaching and mentoring statement (1-2 pages), as well as the names and contact information of at least three references. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by December 1, 2025. Questions may be addressed to the search committee chair, Dr. Jennifer Morgan (jmorgan@mbl.edu ). MBL is grateful to the Hibbitt Family for a generous gift supporting this position. Salary Range: $105,000 USD to $120,000 USD The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) reserves the right to determine final compensation based on a comprehensive evaluation of market data, internal equity, and the candidate’s relevant experience and qualifications.Application Materials Required:
