The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick (Busch Campus), invites applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. The position requires a PhD degree in molecular biology or a related field by the appointment date (9/1/2022). The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and leading a creative research program in the general areas of Biochemistry or Molecular Biology. Applicants who study metabolism in health and disease using biochemical and metabolomics approaches are especially encouraged to apply. Outstanding researchers in other areas will also be considered. The research program of the new faculty member will bolster the Department’s existing strengths in the study of cancer, aging and gene regulation.

The MBB Department is part of an expanding program within the Division of Life Sciences on the Busch Campus, where the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine, the Waksman Institute, and the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School are also located. Faculty members also work closely with the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Rutgers Child Health Institute. We have strong consolidated, interdepartmental graduate programs in Molecular Biosciences. The campus is located within one hour of New York and Philadelphia in a highly desirable area.

Rutgers University has one of the most diverse student bodies among institutions of higher learning in the country, and boasts several programs established to nurture equity and inclusion that enhances the achievement of excellence by faculty members and students. We encourage applications from women and members of communities who are underrepresented in the sciences, and will evaluate the potential of the applicant to mentor and empower minoritized students.

The position is highly competitive with regard to start-up funds, laboratory space and salary. Interested individuals are encouraged to apply by submitting the following materials:

• Curriculum vitae • 2-3 page statement of research plans • Contact information for three scientists who can provide letters of reference • 1-page statement discussing your past and/or potential contributions to diversity in scientific research and training

Interested individuals must apply online at https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/141827

Applications should be submitted as soon as possible but not later than October 31, 2021; modestly late applications will likely be considered.
