Faculty Positions
 

Assistant Professor, MIT Department of Biology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Biology is seeking an outstanding scientist for a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor. We are interested in candidates with important research contributions, the ability to develop a significant and independent research program, and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education.

The applicant's research program should involve the study of cells, organisms or the interactions among them. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, cell biology, developmental biology, immunology, evolutionary biology and mammalian biology—including stem cells, aging, and disease.

Faculty members at MIT conduct research, teach undergraduate and graduate courses and supervise graduate and undergraduate participation in research. Candidates must show promise in teaching as well as in research.

We require that applicants submit a curriculum vitae, summary of current and proposed research programs, and three letters of recommendation online at www.academicjobsonline.org. We request that your letters of reference be submitted by the reviewers online via academicjobsonline.org. Alternatively, they may be submitted as PDF attachments emailed to biologysearch@mit.edu or as paper copies mailed to:

Biology Search Committee
Attn: Dr. Lenny Guarente

Tenure-Track Faculty Position at the Whitehead Institute and Department of Biology

The Whitehead Institute and Dept of Biology at MIT are seeking an outstanding scientist for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level. We are interested in candidates who are pursuing fundamental problems in molecular, cellular, or organismal biology, including vertebrate and invertebrate systems. Areas of interest include but are not limited to development, genetics, and disease models. A successful applicant will be expected to develop a significant, independent research program and to share our commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education.

Applicants should submit curriculum vitae and a summary of current and proposed research programs, and should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to David C. Page, Director, at:

http://nematode.wi.mit.edu/facultysearch

Completed applications will begin to be considered on November 1, 2009.

Whitehead/MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Qualified women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply.

Tenure-Track Faculty Position at the Broad Institute and Department of Biology

The Broad Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Biology seek applications for a tenure-track faculty position. The individual would serve as a Core Faculty Member at the Broad Institute and an Assistant or Associate Professor of Biology at MIT. (Note: There is an additional search for a tenure-track faculty member jointly between the Broad Institute and any other appropriate department in the Schools of Science or Engineering at MIT.)

Broad is a research partnership of MIT, Harvard and the Harvard teaching hospitals, with the goal of applying systematic approaches to understand fundamental problems in biology and medicine. Core Members have faculty appointments in a department at MIT or Harvard (with the same rights and responsibilities as any other member of their department). Their primary laboratory space is at Broad and they have full access to the scientific and technical community at Broad. In addition to the Core Members, the Broad community includes over 100 Associate Members (whose space is primarily at their home institution) drawn from Harvard and MIT, as well as professionally managed scientific platforms that work together with Core and Associate faculty to tackle projects that benefit from new technologies or various kinds of scale. In short, Broad is a collaborative and supportive community where faculty can pursue ambitious biological questions of their choosing enriched, as desired, by interactions with colleagues from across MIT and Harvard, and by access to unusual scientific capabilities.

We seek outstanding scientists whose independent research program would thrive in this environment. The search is open with regard to the biological question of interest, with regard to approach, and with regard to system (ie, model systems or human). We encourage candidates whose research will bring new areas of inquiry at Broad, as well as candidates whose work relates to current Broad research in areas such as genomics, medical genetics, cancer, microbiology and infectious disease, chemical biology, cell and systems biology, stem cells, epigenetics, neurobiology, metabolism, and computational biology.

Faculty members at MIT conduct research, teach undergraduate and graduate courses and supervise graduate and undergraduate participation in research. Candidates must show promise in teaching as well as in research.

Additional information about the search can be found at http://www.broadinstitute.org/careers.

We require that applicants submit a curriculum vitae, summary of current and proposed research programs, and three letters of recommendation online at www.academicjobsonline.org. We request that your letters of reference be submitted by the reviewers online via academicjobsonline.org. Alternatively, they may be submitted as PDF attachments emailed to lucasm@mit.edu or as paper copies mailed to:
