The Department of Microbiology and Immunology and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College seek applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor studying the broad area of host-microbe interactions. The successful candidate will join our collegial, inclusive, and collaborative scientific community with strengths in immunology and the biology of bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic diseases. The candidate must use contemporary approaches to address important fundamental questions related to the interplay between health- or disease-relevant microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites or symbionts) and host cells, tissues, transmission vectors and/or the immune system. They will be expected to initiate and establish a robust research program that will attract extramural funding, provide research training for graduate, undergraduate and medical students, and teach in classroom settings at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.

A competitive start-up package and access to state-of-the-art research facilities will be provided. Faculty members in the Microbiology and Immunology Department are members of the Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate program https://graduate.dartmouth.edu/mcb/, and have the opportunity to be a member of other graduate programs such as the Integrative Neuroscience or Quantitative Biomedical Sciences programs. Faculty can also participate in NIH supported training grant programs in immunology, host-microbe interactions, quantitative biomedical sciences and cystic fibrosis.

Dartmouth is highly committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive population of students, faculty, and staff. We are especially interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals who identify with LGBTQ+ communities, veterans, individuals with disabilities, individuals from lower income backgrounds, and/or first-generation college graduates.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D., MD or equivalent degree and have relevant postdoctoral research experience. 

The following material should be uploaded to apply.interfolio.com/91495. Questions relating to the position can be sent to MISearch@groups.dartmouth.edu.

  • A C.V. that does not include impact factors for published papers
  • A summary of previous research and future goals, including their impact and importance (up to 3 pages)
  • Statement detailing how the candidate’s teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences will advance Dartmouth’s commitments to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (up to 1 page). Evaluation of past contributions and plans for future contributions to diversity will be a critical part of the application.
  • Details of prior teaching experience (up to 1 page)
  • Letters and contact information (email and telephone) from three referees familiar with the candidate’s research career

Application review will begin on October 1st 2021 and continue on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
