(11/12/24):
Tenure System Assistant Professor in Functional Genomics
Michigan State University
Position Summary
The Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applicants for the position of Tenure System Assistant Professor in Functional Genomics. We are seeking applicants who apply state-of-the-art experimental techniques in traditional or non-traditional animal model systems to understand the genetic mechanisms of genotype-to-phenotype interactions, genome function, developmental or physiological evolution, comparative animal evolution, adaptation, and/or biodiversity. Computational and theoretical approaches are welcomed when combined with experimental validation. The successful applicant will be an investigator with a proven record of research accomplishments in the targeted areas and the ability to build an extramurally funded, independent research program in Functional Genomics. While the particular research focus within Functional Genomics is open, preference will be given to applicants that can contribute to MSU IBIO's strengths in comparative studies of biodiversity across evolutionary and ecological scales. The future faculty member will contribute to undergraduate and/or graduate teaching according to candidate strengths, and participate
in undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training. The successful applicant will also be expected to contribute to the highly interactive, diverse, and collaborative MSU Department of Integrative Biology (MSU IBIO; https://integrativebiology.natsci.msu.edu/).
The new faculty will strengthen the core mission of the MSU IBIO Department to advance understanding of the function, stability, resilience, and adaptation of complex biological systems via research, teaching, and service. We use cutting-edge tools to address important questions about genetics, genomics, development, physiology, behavior, ecology, and evolution in a wide array of species and model systems, over temporal and spatial scales. The department includes more than 30 faculty members and strong graduate and undergraduate programs. Many faculty members are also affiliated with the MSU Ecology, Evolution and Behavior Program (https://eeb.msu.edu/), the MSU BioMolecular Science Program (https://biomolecular.natsci.msu.edu/), and numerous other cross-college units and interdisciplinary graduate programs. MSU IBIO is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace that enriches our learning environment and innovative research and seek colleagues driven by the same motivation.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. or equivalent degree in biology or a related field in the life sciences
- At least one year of postdoctoral experience
- Demonstration of expertise in animal functional genomics
- Strong record of research productivity including lead author publications in peer-reviewed journals
- Clear plan to build an independent, competitive, and externally funded
research program in animal functional genomics
- Clear knowledge of and interest in dimensions of diversity that result from different lived experiences, such as ethnic, socioeconomic, racial, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and cultures
Desired Qualifications:
- Prior stage-appropriate external funding support such as research fellowships and grants
- Experience with undergraduate research training and mentorship
- Evidence of instructional experience at the undergraduate and/or graduate level
- Prior contributions to initiatives fostering diversity, equity, and inclusions in research and/or teaching

The Department of Genetics in the School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in Piscataway, NJ invites applications for an outstanding tenure-track Assistant Professor in Genetics.
We seek a researcher who leverages genetic and/or computational biology methods to investigate infectious and/or chronic human disease within an evolutionary framework. Relevant research programs would involve human or model organisms with a focus including, but not limited to, topics such as genetic variation, epigenetics, comparative genomics, reproduction, host-pathogen and/or vector co-evolution, and aging/degeneration. Candidates whose work involves the impact of rapid climate and/or environmental change on human health are especially encouraged to apply.
Please see the detail from here https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/234602
Applicants should submit a CV, a 2-3 page statement of research interests, a teaching statement, full contact information for three individuals willing to provide letters of reference, and a separate statement addressing ways in which your research, teaching, and service will foster connections with and engage our diverse student body as well as contribute to Rutgers’ commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusiveness (broadly construed). Review of applications will begin on October 15th and continue until the position is filled; timely submission of materials is recommended.
(6/12/24):
1) The Geosciences Department at Princeton University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate or more senior researcher in the area of evolutionary developmental biology to work with Professor Chris Griffin.
The Griffin lab is broadly interested in the influence of development on the evolution of vertebrate form. The postdoctoral work will fit within this research focus, but the postdoctoral associate will have the freedom to develop their research in an independent direction. Please visit https://www.griffinlabpaleo.com for more information on the lab.
The ideal candidate will have a background in vertebrate embryology or developmental biology, but candidates with experience in related fields will be given full consideration. A Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology, Developmental Biology, Geosciences, or a related field is required. Postdoctoral appointments are initially for one year with renewal for at least one subsequent year based on satisfactory performance, but potentially further years depending on continued funding. A competitive salary, as well as benefits, are offered commensurate with experience and qualifications. The associate will ideally start Summer 2025-our new lab space in Princeton's Environmental Science neighborhood will be opening in Spring 2025, providing an exciting opportunity to be part of shaping a cutting-edge research space in a dynamic new environment.
Applicants are asked to submit a cover letter, vitae, a publication list, a statement of research experience and interests, and names of at least 3 references. Applicants should apply online to https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/34961. Review of applications will begin as soon as they are received and continue until the position is filled.
This position is subject to the University's background check policy. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University.
Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
2) Postdoctoral position available in the Seaver Lab at the Whitney Laboratory, University of Florida.
Stem cells and regeneration in annelids
The Seaver Lab seeks to hire a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to work on experimental analysis of regeneration and the role of stem cells in the annelid Capitella teleta. The successful applicant will be expected to work independently and possess a strong work ethic. Candidate should have a PhD in Cell, Developmental, or Molecular Biology. Proven experience in either functional genomics, experimental embryology or marine invertebrate development is strongly preferred. The researcher will benefit from a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment and this position provides an opportunity to initiate an independent research program. The lab is located at the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, a research institute of the University of Florida with strengths in evolution and development, regeneration biology and comparative and functional genomics. Salary is dependent upon experience and based on the NIH postdoctoral scale.
For more information on research interests of the lab, please visit:
https://www.whitney.ufl.edu/people/current-research-faculty/elaine-c-seaver-phd/
Interested applicants should send an email with a statement outlining their past research accomplishments and interest in the position, a curriculum vitae and the names and contact information of three professional references (including e-mail addresses) to Dr. Elaine Seaver ([email protected]). The position will remain open until filled.
