Tenure Track Faculty Positions

Department of Molecular Pathobiology
New York University Dentistry

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology at the New York University (NYU) Dentistry seeks applications at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor for tenure track research-focused positions in the areas of chronic pain, metabolism and Inflammation, and biomaterials and regenerative biology, and related disciplines.

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology has a strong and rapidly expanding research program with substantial support from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and Foundations. The Department is located in state-of-the-art laboratories in close proximity to the broader NYU research community. Research in the Department focuses on understanding normal human biology as well as disease through studies of molecules, cells, tissues, and systems, as well as the engineering aspects of life science and medicine. Current interests include: studies of the molecular mechanisms and treatment of chronic pain; metabolic and inflammatory diseases; cell signaling; and biomaterials, 3-D printed scaffolds, tissue engineering, developmental biology and AI linked diagnostics. See Departmental website: https://dental.nyu.edu/faculty/molecular-pathobiology.html

The Department wishes to recruit highly creative scientists who will lead and maintain cutting-edge and extramurally funded research programs that will complement and synergize with current research activities in the Department. The ideal candidate will interact with members of the Department, faculty of NYU Dentistry, NYU School of Medicine, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, as well as foster collaborations with the greater NYU and New York research communities.

Pain Research Center (PRC). The members of the PRC have expertise in the structure and function of G-protein coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases, pain signaling mechanisms, nanomedicine therapeutics for pain, cancer pain, migraine pain, visceral/abdominal pain, gut-brain signaling, developmental biology, oral sensation, and chronic itch. Individuals with pain-aligning interests in biomedical and chemical engineering, tissue regeneration, stem cell biology, nanomedicines, and modeling of human development and disease through organoid experimental models are encouraged to apply http://apply.interfolio.com/157085

Metabolism and Inflammation Research Group. Individuals with interests in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of inflammatory and metabolic disease, signal transduction, ion channels, cell signaling, mitochondrial biology, physiology, host-microbiome interactions, and translational therapeutic target development are encouraged to apply http://apply.interfolio.com/157100

Biomaterials and Regenerative Biology Research Group. Individuals with interests in biomedical and chemical engineering, biomaterial interactions with tissues, tissue regeneration, stem cell biology, nanomedicines, and modeling of human development and disease through organoid experimental models are encouraged to apply http://apply.interfolio.com/157108

Qualifications
Qualified candidates should hold a PhD, DDS, MD or equivalent higher degree, and have a demonstrated record of scholarly excellence illustrated by the publication of influential research papers and a record or promise of substantial extramural funding. Candidates with K99/R00 or similar awards are strongly encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will be expected to maintain a robust externally funded research program and to contribute to the intellectual life of the Department by mentoring and instructing students and postdoctoral fellows and by contributing university and community service. Teaching requirements will be commensurate with the Department’s needs and the applicant’s qualifications.

Successful candidates will receive a competitive start-up package. In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for the rank of Assistant Professor on the tenure track is $140K - $210K & for the rank of Associate Professor on the tenure track is $135K - $225K. NYU considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology provides a respectful, equitable, diverse and inclusive community that fosters creativity, innovation and collaboration. NYU is committed to building a culturally diverse and inclusive intellectual community, and strongly encourages women and minorities to apply.
