Professor

The School of Biological Sciences at the University of Utah invites applications for two tenure-track/tenured faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. We encourage all applicants addressing fundamental questions in biology from a broadly-defined molecular perspective. For one of the two positions we are particularly seeking applicants working in plant molecular biology; the other position is open to investigators working in any biological system.

The new faculty member will be expected to develop a high impact research program, effectively support our teaching mission at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and contribute to a diverse and inclusive environment within the School and University. The University of Utah offers exceptional opportunities for research collaboration across multiple departments, all at the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains with nearby world-class cultural and recreational opportunities.

Applicants should send the following, noting the page limits for each section: (1) a cover letter that addresses your particular interest in the position and the University of Utah (one page), (2) a CV, (3) a description of your research accomplishments and independent research plans (two pages), (4) a description of your teaching experience and interests (one page), (5) a description of past and/or potential contributions to advancing diversity, inclusion, and equitable access to education (one page), and (6) up to three publications or preprints. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent on their behalf. Applications will be accepted electronically in PDF format at http://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/108965. Our review of applications will begin on December 1, 2020.
