Four Tenure Track Positions in Biology

2 weeks ago

Winston Salem, United States Wake Forest University - Department of Biology Full time

The Department of Biology at Wake Forest University invites applications for four full-time, tenure-track faculty positions in Eukaryotic Cell Biology, Microbiology, Neurobiology, and Plant Ecophysiology at the assistant professor level. We especially encourage applicants who blend expertise across disciplines. If your research bridges multiple research areas, please submit a single application to the position that is your focus but indicate clearly if any of the others are of interest.

 

  • We seek a eukaryotic cell biologist studying mechanisms by which cells function, using cellular, molecular, and/or biochemical approaches.
  • We seek a microbiologist studying the physiology, biochemistry, and/or genetics of prokaryotes using cellular, molecular, and/or biochemical approaches from single organisms to communities and ecosystems.
  • We seek a neurobiologist studying the neural circuit basis of behavior using any combination of classical and modern approaches.
  • We seek an ecophysiologist studying plants in their natural environments and focused on processes ranging from cellular to global scales. The preferred candidate will work on questions related to the ecosystem impacts of global change. 
  •  
New hires will have the opportunity to develop courses in their areas of expertise to serve graduate students and majors and minors in Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Environmental Studies, and Neuroscience; teach existing courses in our introductory core; and mentor M.S. and Ph.D. students in our graduate programs. 

The successful candidates will join a collaborative community of teacher-scholars engaging with life’s diversity from the biosphere to the molecule. Information about the Biology Department and these positions can be found at biology.wfu.edu. Teaching loads are consistent with our high expectations for research. We seek individuals that demonstrate a commitment to developing thriving, externally funded research programs and engaging undergraduate, M.S., and Ph.D. students through research mentorship and in the classroom. The Biology Department spans two campuses in Winston-Salem, NC (Reynolda Campus and Wake Downtown), and supports faculty research with numerous shared facilities, including a vivarium, greenhouse, herbarium, mass spectrometry facility, and state-of-the art microscopy facilities.

Wake Forest Biology is a welcoming community committed to fostering diversity and achieving inclusive excellence in teaching and research. In pursuit of this, we strongly encourage applications from individuals from traditionally underrepresented and historically marginalized populations.

For specific information about the individual positions, contact the following members of the Search Committee: Eukaryotic Cell Biology - Dr. Gloria Muday (cellbio@wfu.edu); Microbiology - Dr. Regina Cordy (microbio@wfu.edu); Neurobiology - Dr. Susan Fahrbach (neurobio@wfu.edu); Plant Ecophysiology - Dr. Michael Anderson (ecophys@wfu.edu). To apply, go to hr.wfu.edu/careers and, under Careers at Wake Forest University, select Faculty Openings. 

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled, but for full consideration, materials should be submitted by the start of application review on October 1, 2024. Applications should include (i) a cover letter detailing interest in the specific position (limit 1-2 pages), (ii) a curriculum vitae (no page limit), (iii) a concise statement of research interests (3-4 pages), and (iv) a statement of teaching philosophy (2-3 pages). Research statements should include (but are not limited to) research questions, past accomplishments, short-term and long-term research plans, and ideas on how your research program will foster inclusivity. Briefly describe any potential broader societal impacts of your research. Teaching statements should address teaching philosophy, classroom and assessment approaches, and how you will create a learning environment that supports diverse students. All documents must be compiled as a single PDF file and submitted via hr.wfu.edu/careers. Selected applicants will be asked later to provide three letters of recommendation.  Inquiries specific to the application process and document submission should be directed to wakejobs@wfu.edu. The four positions are listed separately.

In order to provide a safe and productive learning and living community, Wake Forest University conducts background investigations for all final faculty candidates being considered for employment.
