Faculty Position
The Department of Biology & Biotechnology invites applications for a
tenure-track faculty position at the ASSISTANT PROFESSOR level
This position is part of a 'cluster hire' of 7 faculty positions
this year in WPI's ongoing initiative in the life sciences.
Areas of particular interest include ecology and environmental
biology, cell and developmental biology, and systems biology. We are
especially inviting candidates working with microbial systems,
although a promising research program and a commitment to teaching are
more important than the research topic or organism. The ideal
candidate will enjoy an interdisciplinary environment, with
opportunities to interact with faculty in environmental or biomedical
engineering in focus areas including green energy, environmental
studies, and regenerative medicine.
Faculty are expected to establish a vigorous, extramurally-funded
research program, and to fully participate in teaching at the
undergraduate and/or graduate level.
Located in Worcester, MA, WPI is a highly selective private university
with an undergraduate student body of over 3,200 and 1,100 full-time
and part-time graduate students (M.S. and Ph.D.) WPI is consistently
ranked among the top national universities in U.S. News & World Report.
