The Department of Molecular Pathobiology at the New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry seeks applications at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor for two tenure track research-focused positions.

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology has a strong and rapidly expanding research program with substantial support from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and Foundations. The Department is located in state‑art laboratories within the broader NYU research community. Research in the Department focuses on understanding normal human biology and disease through studies of molecules, cells, tissues and systems. The Department houses the NYU Pain Research Center. Current interests include: mechanism and treatment of chronic pain; metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms and disease; receptors and signal transduction; and biomaterials, development and regenerative biology. For more information see the departmental website: https://dental.nyu.edu/faculty/molecular-pathobiology.html?challenge=d06e90d7-4d8f-4b88-9d8c-10b73beb60f1

The Department wishes to recruit highly creative scientists who will lead and maintain cutting‑edge and extramurally funded research programs that will complement and synergize with current research activities in the Department of Molecular Pathobiology. The ideal candidates will interact with faculty of NYU Dentistry, NYU Langone School of Medicine, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, as well as foster collaborations with the greater NYU and New York research communities.

Successful candidates will receive a competitive start‑up package. In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for the rank of Assistant Professor on the tenure track is $140K – $210K & for the rank of Associate Professor on the tenure track is $135K – $225K.

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology provides a respectful, equitable and inclusive community that fosters creativity, innovation and collaboration. The successful candidate will be encouraged to build collaborative linkages to other science, engineering, medical programs at NYU through affiliated positions in other synergistic departments. NYU is committed to building a culturally diverse and inclusive intellectual community, and strongly encourages women and minorities to apply.
