Job Description
The Department of Biology at the University of Massachusetts 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.
Although the search is unrestricted with respect to the research area or organism (algae to angiosperms), 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.
Requirements
Candidates 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.

The specific pay for this position will be determined by the University based on consideration of all relevant factors when and if it decides to extend an offer of employment.
Please note: (1) The low-end of the pay range in all faculty searches at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the minimum salary for the rank included in the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the Massachusetts Society of Professors, UMass Amherst/MTA/NEA. (2) The high-end of the pay range reflects an increase above the median salaries at this rank within the department for faculty who may have multiple years of faculty experience.
Application Instructions
Along with the application, please submit a (1) cover letter, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) Research Statement, (4) Teaching Statement, (5) Contributions to Inclusive Excellence Statement (see below), and (6) contact information for three [3] professional references.
