Academic Researcher Position in Plant Biology
2 months ago
UMass Amherst is a nationally ranked public research university offering a full range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees. The University sits on nearly 1,450 acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, providing a rich cultural environment in a bucolic setting close to major urban centers.
The University is part of the Five Colleges, which adds to the intellectual energy of the region.
Job DescriptionThe Department of Biology at UMass Amherst invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in any area of Plant Biology. This is an academic-year appointment at the level of Assistant Professor.
The successful candidate will be expected to establish a vibrant, externally funded research program, effectively teach and mentor undergraduate and graduate students, and contribute to service in support of the department and college.
Of particular importance, the successful candidate will have a demonstrated understanding of the strength that is brought to science through diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility.
The search is unrestricted with respect to the research area or organism, but we are keen to hire a biologist who investigates molecular mechanisms. The successful candidate will show potential to synergize with other members of the department: biologists who study physiology, cell biology, evolution, and development.
Modern research approaches, including genomics, advanced imaging, or computational methods, are welcome. The successful candidate will also contribute to the department's mission through teaching lecture or laboratory courses in their area of specialty.
The Biology department provides an interactive and broad research environment, with faculty whose research spans all levels of biological organization.
With recent and ongoing hiring in Biology, the successful candidate will join a new junior faculty cohort in neurobiology, genetics, and developmental cellular biology.
Faculty members train graduate students through interdepartmental graduate programs in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neuroscience and Behavior, Plant Biology, and Organismic and Evolutionary Biology.
RequirementsCandidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in Biology or a related field with relevant post-doctoral experience.
We are seeking talented applicants qualified for an assistant professor position. Under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates at other ranks may receive consideration.
Additional InformationThis position could begin as soon as September 1, 2025, with alternative start dates of January 2026 or September 2026.
