ASSISTANT / ASSOCIATE / FULL PROFESSOR

The University of Massachusetts Lowell Department of Biological Sciences invites applications to fill a full-time tenure-track faculty position of open rank (e.g., Assistant to Full Professor level), to start September 2020. We are especially interested in an individual who would enhance our research expertise in biomedical research (e.g., cancer biology, cell biology, molecular biology,
developmental biology), and who would complement and leverage existing departmental and campus strengths. Additionally, candidates whose research will facilitate collaborations with faculty in the Biomedical Engineering and/or the Biomedical & Nutritional Sciences Department will be favored. Candidates utilizing new technologies (e.g. nanomedicine, biomaterials, robotics and tissue engineering) available at UMass Lowell are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program, and contribute to the
department’s teaching mission. Teaching responsibilities may include the development of undergraduate courses, in addition to upper-level / graduate courses. The University of Massachusetts Lowell is located in the heart of the life sciences supercluster of the northeast region of Massachusetts, which is home to more than 100 life science companies. Together
with its proximity to the Boston/Cambridge biotechnology and biomedical hub, there are ample opportunities for scientific interaction, exchange, and collaboration.

Minimum Qualifications (Required):
• Earned doctorate and postdoctoral experience (required at the time of application)
• The ability to work effectively with diverse student and faculty groups
• Demonstrated teaching and mentoring ability at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels
• Potential to establish a sustainable externally funded research program

The referees will be notified and should upload recommendation letters. Only recommendation letters that are uploaded to the system by the referee will be accepted.
