Georgetown University: Main Campus: Georgetown College: Biology
Location: Washington, DC
Open Date: Aug 26, 2022
Deadline: Aug 01, 2023 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
Description
The Department of Biology at Georgetown University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level beginning Fall, 2023. Our department welcomes, celebrates, and supports diversity in all forms. Our differences make us stronger as scientists, as individuals, and as a community. We are committed to world-class research and teaching, and we benefit from our close proximity to funding agencies, research institutes, and other universities.
We seek an outstanding microbiologist who will lead a dynamic, externally-funded research program and contribute to the teaching and mentoring of talented undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We are most interested in individuals with bold ideas who bring disciplinary expertise and who welcome opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration to work on foundational or applied challenges. Individuals whose research focuses on prokaryotes, microbial cell biology, environmental microbiology, extremophiles, or host-microbe interactions will best complement current departmental strengths, but we are open to a wide range of specific research topic foci and approaches. The successful applicant will join a welcoming and vibrant research community both within our department, and with colleagues in other natural and physical science departments and at the adjacent Georgetown University Medical Center. We take pride in our educational programs at both the graduate and undergraduate level, and individuals with a genuine interest in teaching and mentoring will find a supportive community both within our department and across the university.
