Faculty Position

Tenure-Track Assistant or Associate Professor in Cancer Biology

As part of ongoing efforts to expand biomedical research within the College of Science at the University of North Texas (UNT), the Department of Biological Sciences invites applications for a tenure‑track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of Cancer Biology. Preference will be given to applicants with research interests in the areas of physiology and molecular biology of cancer, or development and application of immunotherapy methods for cancer treatment. The faculty member will contribute to and collaborate with our ongoing basic and applied research programs within the Department, as well as the College of Science’s Cancer and Health Sciences cluster‑hire initiative. Exceptional candidates with significant experience at the Assistant Professor level, or equivalent, may be considered for hire at the Associate Professor level. The successful candidate should be capable of using modern research approaches, employing model systems, and have skills to work independently as well as in collaborative groups. They will be expected to obtain external funding to support a vibrant research program in their discipline, engage in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and effectively teach courses in their area of expertise. They will interact with faculty, staff, and students within and between departments at UNT, including members from the Advanced Environmental Research Institute (AERI) and the BioDiscovery Institute (BDI), contributing to a strong tradition of interdisciplinary and collaborative research. This position builds on recent hires in the department in neurobiology, epigenetics, endocrinology, genomics, cell biology, and computational biology.

Minimum job requirements include a doctoral degree in Biological Sciences or related field, with postdoctoral experience. Preference will be given to applicants with 1) at least 3 years postdoctoral or equivalent experience in Cancer Biology; 2) a proven record or potential to obtain external funding to support an active research program; 3) a growing record of scholarship and publication in higher tier journals in the applicant’s field of study; and 4) a record demonstrating the potential for excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching.

We are growing with the North Texas region, employing more than 14,000 employees, educating a record 49,000+ students across our system, and awarding nearly 12,000 degrees each year. The Department of Biological Sciences, one of four departments in the College of Science, has over 55 faculty, 3,000 undergraduate and 125 graduate students, and 30 postdoctoral fellows and research scientists. Our faculty is a community of scholars dedicated to research and teaching in Ecology, Environmental Science, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Physiology, Neuroscience, Cancer Biology, Plant Biology, and Organismal‑Environment interactions. We offer Bachelor's degrees in Biology, Biochemistry, Ecology for Environmental Science, Medical Laboratory Science, and Forensic Science, and Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and environmental science. We measure our success by the successes of our students and the quality of our intellectual contributions to society.
