Indiana University Bloomington, Bloomington, Indiana, United States, 47401
Multiple, Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Synthetic Biology
at Indiana University Bloomington
As part of a major, multi-year initiative to expand research activities in Synthetic Biology across the IU Bloomington campus, the
College of Arts and Sciences
and the
Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering
invite applications for multiple tenure/tenure-track positions at all ranks to begin in the Fall of 2025. Appointments will be in one or more departments, including
Chemistry ,
Biology ,
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry , or
Intelligent System Engineering . These exciting new positions are associated with the university’s
multimillion-dollar investment
in biosciences, expanding life sciences research on the Bloomington campus.
We are particularly interested in researchers working in areas of synthetic biology who can synergize with existing research strengths in the departments noted above. Representative topics of interest could include enzyme engineering, biocatalysis, metabolic engineering, biosensing and diagnostics, genome design, and cellular design and engineering. New approaches that incorporate evolution, selection methods, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are also of interest, as are methods to develop novel biological systems, including microbes, microbiomes, synthetic consortia, and plants, for synthetic biology. We encourage applications from scholars who apply interdisciplinary perspectives across a variety of these domains.
Qualifications:
Applicants should possess a PhD in Chemistry, Biology, Chemical Biology, Synthetic Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biological Engineering, or Informatics (or a related field) and be committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Responsibilities:
Candidates are expected to sustain an active, internationally recognized, externally funded research program, to engage undergraduate and graduate students through effective teaching, and to participate in service to the university and the profession. Candidates should be able to work effectively in a team environment. To advance scholarly innovation and excellence, we especially welcome candidates who will broadly increase the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion through any of the following: their lived experience, research, teaching, and/or mentoring.
Application Procedures:
Applicants should apply online and include a letter of application (2 pages or less), CV, and statements on research (4 pages or less) and teaching (2 pages or less). Applicants seeking appointment at the Assistant Professor rank should apply at
https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/25571
and provide three letters of reference. Applicants seeking appointment with tenure should apply at
https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/25570
and be prepared to provide the names of six references. References for applicants seeking appointment with tenure will only be contacted for those candidates moving to advanced stages of consideration. IUB faculty members are expected to interact with our diverse student and faculty community. As such, we are especially interested in applicants with a record of successful teaching and mentoring of students from diverse backgrounds (including first-generation college students, low-income students, racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ, etc.); applicants are encouraged to address this experience in their letter of application and how that experience will contribute to IUB programs, curricular offerings, and service portfolio.
Review of applications will begin immediately and for best consideration, applications should be received by
October 1, 2024 . Position will remain open until filled. All queries about the position or the application procedures may be addressed to
