The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) is soliciting applications for a faculty position in Emerging and Neglected Diseases; this position is open at any level (tenure-track or tenured). We seek candidates focused on microbiology, immunology, and/or infectious disease. Research on pathogens or infectious disease mechanisms with significance for global health is of particular but not exclusive interest. Applications from candidates focused on BSL3-level pathogens are also encouraged. The successful candidate should also be interested in serving as a member of the faculty leadership group for the Wheeler Center for Emerging and Neglected Diseases (CEND) to manage existing programs and develop new initiatives and programs that further the mission of CEND, and to collaborate with the dynamic group of CEND-affiliated faculty from diverse schools and departments on campus. We seek candidates with Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree (or equivalent) who have demonstrated excellence, originality and productivity in research, and interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching. Ph.D., MD, or equivalent is required by date of application. We are particularly interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research and service. Potential start date is July 1, 2015.
