The Department of Biological Sciences at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York at Buffalo (http://biology.buffalo.edu) invites applications for an assistant or associate professor-level position (rank negotiable based on experience) from individuals who study the complex relationships between genotype and phenotype, and are committed to establishing robust, extramurally-funded research programs. Specifically, this hiring initiative focuses on understanding the relationships linking genome to phenome at all levels of life. In this round of recruitment, the Department seeks to hire an assistant or associate professor in the area of gene regulation at several different levels, including the epigenetic.

The University at Buffalo (UB) has a tradition of research excellence in biology. UB is the largest and most comprehensive campus in the State University of New York system. The Department of Biological Sciences is the major focal point for interdisciplinary research and education in life sciences at the University at Buffalo. The Department’s strengths include the biochemistry of gene expression, molecular evolution and genomics, and sensory transduction and development. As part of its ongoing strategic growth plan, the Department has recently hired faculty in neurogenetics studying development and connection patterns of diverse neural cell types, and in genome-to-phenome biology studying the genetic and molecular mechanisms responsible for phenotypic differences between species. Opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions among UB, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the NYS Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences are available. The position will provide a 10-month, state-supported salary plus a competitive startup package.

With backing from the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department aims to achieve disciplinary excellence in addressing "the large genome” challenge of understanding the genetic control of phenotype. The successful candidate is expected to: (1) develop a nationally-recognized, externally-funded research program; 2) participate in research laboratory training of baccalaureate, masters and doctoral students; and 3) teach undergraduate and graduate level courses. Applicants must have a doctoral or equivalent degree in an appropriate field, relevant postdoctoral experience, documented evidence of high-quality research productivity, and a solid commitment to excellence in both research and teaching.

To apply, submit electronic versions of a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a summary of research accomplishments and future plans, and a statement of teaching interests and philosophy to UB Jobs at: http://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/21704. Please include the names of three colleagues who could be contacted for letters of recommendation.

Completed applications will be reviewed beginning November 1, 2019, and will continue until the position is filled. Please consult our website: http://biology.buffalo.edu for information about UB, our department and our community.

University at Buffalo is an affirmative action equal opportunity employer and, in keeping with our commitment, welcomes all to apply including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
