Biology Faculty Searches 2012

Professor of Neurobiology

The Biology Department invites applications for a tenured faculty appointment at the full professor level in neurobiology (pending budgetary approval). We are particularly interested in innovative researchers who integrate cell and molecular neurobiology with systems neuroscience to study basic questions in signaling, synaptic function, development or learning and memory, and their connections to organismal phenotypes. We seek a colleague with an outstanding record of research accomplishment who will serve as a leader in the future development of neurobiology in the department and the broader neuroscience community at Boston University. Responsibilities include the maintenance of a vigorous research program with extramural funding and participation in undergraduate and graduate instruction. The successful candidate will be offered laboratory facilities in our interdisciplinary Life Science & Engineering Building, a competitive salary, and generous start-up funding. Review of applications will begin 1 November 2012 and continue until the position is filled. Please use AcademicJobsOnline (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1874) to submit application materials. Inquiries can be addressed to Michael Baum (baum@bu.edu), Chair, Neurobiology Search Committee, or Michael Sorenson (msoren@bu.edu), Chair, Department of Biology.

Assistant Professor of Biology in Microbial Ecology

The Biology Department invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in microbial ecology, beginning Fall 2013 (subject to budgetary approval). We seek a colleague using cutting-edge techniques (e.g., genomics, proteomics) to study microbes and their regulation of ecological interactions, ecosystem function, biogeochemical cycles, and/or global change in terrestrial or aquatic systems. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field and are expected to have postdoctoral experience and a strong publication record. Responsibilities include establishing a research program with extramural funding and participating in both undergraduate and graduate teaching, including an undergraduate course in Microbiology. The successful candidate will be offered newly renovated laboratory facilities, a competitive salary and start-up package, and will have the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary graduate programs in Biogeoscience and Bioinformatics/Systems Biology. Review of applications will begin Nov. 15, 2012. Please use AcademicJobsOnline (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1876) to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, and three representative reprints, and arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted through the same website. Inquiries can be addressed to Prof. Adrien Finzi, Chair, Microbial Ecology Search Committee, at microb12@bu.edu.
