Posted 9/18/2024
The Department of Biological Sciences at Mount Holyoke College invites applicants for a tenure track position in developmental biology at the Assistant Professor level beginning fall 2025. We welcome applications from researchers with expertise in any aspect of developmental biology, from the cell and molecular level to the level of the whole organism or ecosystem. As biology has become more technology-driven, synthetic, and interdisciplinary, we envision that our new developmental biologist could cross traditional boundaries. Appropriate fields include but are not limited to cancer, aging, reproductive technology, regenerative medicine, and evolutionary development.
Ph.D. or ABD required. The applicant should have a strong commitment to research and undergraduate teaching; a research program that can easily accommodate and encourage undergraduates is crucial. The new hire would have a dedicated laboratory space in which to supervise independent study students as part of a thriving research program. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated record of strong teaching at the undergraduate level and experience mentoring students who are broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, and religion.
The teaching load at Mount Holyoke College is 2/2. The candidate is expected to contribute to the Introductory Biology curriculum, intermediate core courses in Cell Biology and/or Molecular Genetics, and offer advanced elective course(s) in their area of expertise.
Applications must be made online by submitting a cover letter, a CV, and statements on the following: (1) teaching philosophy, (2) research plans, and (3) mentoring a diverse student body. Reference letters will be requested at a later date in the process. Applications submitted by October 1, 2024, will have priority for consideration. Questions may be addressed to the chair of the search committee, Renae Brodie.
