The Department of Biology (www.biology.usu.edu) is seeking to fill a cluster of 2-3 tenure track (1.0 FTE, 9 months, 50% research, 40% teaching, 10% service) positions in the area of Cell and Molecular biology to start in the Fall of 2025. This includes biologists whose research addresses questions in neuroscience, development (including evo-devo), systems biology, or functional genomics. The department seeks colleagues with a collaborative vision that are motivated to join a community dedicated to high-quality research and teaching that emphasizes acceptance and respect of all persons. The estimated start date will be August 1, 2025.

For further information or inquiries, please contact Search Committee Co-Chairs Justin Jones ([email protected]) or Karen Kapheim ([email protected]). Initial review of applications will begin September 16, 2024, but the position will be open until filled.

The teaching load is typically one introductory undergraduate course and one upper-level or graduate course in an area of specialization per year. While appointments are expected to be made at the Assistant Professor level, candidates recently promoted or anticipating promotion prior to the anticipated starting date of this position may be considered at the Associate Professor level.

Successful candidates are expected to establish nationally recognized research programs addressing fundamental questions in biology and to be effective teachers and mentors to undergraduate and graduate students. The department and university have many resources to enable success, including competitive start-up, excellent facilities, opportunities for internal research funding, core facilities in computation, sequencing, and microscopy, among others, and the Center for Empowering Teaching Excellence.
