What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant/Associate Professor position at The University of Texas at Arlington?
Job Summary
The Department of Biology in the College of Science, at the University of Texas at Arlington ( UTA ) ( http://www.uta.edu/biology/ ), invites applications for a Tenure-Track faculty position in Genomics at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. We seek to expand our strength in Genomics by recruiting a faculty member who will establish a nationally recognized, collaborative research program and contribute to our growing research community.
Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, spatially-resolved functional genomics, cell signaling, genetics and epigenetics studies and other integrative approaches to understanding biological function. We seek applicants whose research uses genomic and related approaches at any level of biological organization across model and non-model organisms. Applications of integrative, mechanistic, and systems-level approaches to investigate the physiological, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms that govern biological function, health, and disease would align well with the Department’s long-term mission.
For Assistant Professor applicants, successful candidates will have a doctoral degree in a relevant field and should demonstrate strong trajectory for acquiring extramural grant funding and the potential for producing high quality research and scholarly achievements that advance the field. Additionally, candidates for Associate Professor will be expected to arrive with actively funded research programs
New faculty will further contribute to the UTA community through high-quality teaching using evidence-based practices to engage undergraduate and graduate (Master’s and Ph.D.) students from various backgrounds and experiences effectively.
Start-up funds, salaries, and teaching loads are highly competitive, and successful candidates will have opportunities to apply for generous state funds with which the University and Department has had considerable success.
Required Qualifications
Minimum requirements for this position include: (1) a Ph.D. or equivalent in one of the disciplines noted above or a related discipline that aligns with a focus on genomics; (2) a strong publication record or potential in the field of expertise; (3) strong research program with existing external funding or potential for funding; and (4) commitment to quality teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Preferred Qualifications
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
The successful applicant will be committed to excellence in research, teaching, and service and will be expected to teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses, build and lead a team of student researchers, implement a program of externally funded research that yields top-tier publications, and contribute to professional service within UTA and the external community.
