The successful candidate is expected to lead the A&P mission of biology, and contribute to the general needs of the academic program. The candidate will be a contributing member of the department by serving on relevant departmental, campus, and university committees.

The candidate should also have great interest and preferably experience in guiding capstone MS students in both the Biology Department and more campus‑wide interdisciplinary research through the Center for Computational and Integrative Biology (CCIB).

The teaching load for teaching professors is 4-4, and salaries and benefits are competitive.

The successful applicant is expected to contribute to the development and implementation of innovative curriculum taking courses in new directions and is expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses.

First consideration will be given to candidates whose application is received by October 1, 2026. The search will continue until the appropriate candidate is found. Applicants should contact Dr. Nir Yakoby, chairperson of Department of Biology, [e-mail], with position related questions.
