Tenure-Track Faculty Position In Molecular and Systems Biology

The Department of Molecular and Systems Biology at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor position. We seek applicants who will direct an independent and innovative research program to understand complex problems in molecular, cell, or developmental biology, regeneration, neuroscience, or mechanisms of disease using approaches in genetics, genomics, epigenetics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, or computational systems biology.

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

Our department offers a dynamic and interactive environment where faculty members benefit from collaborative and collegial interactions across campus, with foundational and clinical departments at Geisel, the School of Arts & Sciences, the Thayer School of Engineering, and the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies.

A generous start-up package and access to state-of-the-art research facilities will be provided. Individuals will be given opportunities for mentoring and teaching graduate students in relevant PhD programs [e.g.,  Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB),  Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (QBS), and Integrative Neuroscience at Dartmouth (IND)]. The successful candidate may, as appropriate, also benefit from association with NIH-sponsored Centers for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, Biomolecular Targeting, Molecular Epidemiology or Cystic Fibrosis and the NCI-designated Dartmouth Cancer Center.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree and relevant postdoctoral research experience.  Applicants should upload a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a description of proposed research (<3 pages) and a statement on how their teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion at Dartmouth (<1 page) to http://apply.interfolio.com/112307.

In addition, applicants should submit a fully anonymized description of their three most significant contributions to science (<1 page) and take care not to include details such as publications, impact factors, mentors' names, institutions, awards, or any other information that may reveal their identity. The  goal of this anonymous narrative is to minimize bias by allowing the search committee an initial level of evaluation focused solely on research.
