Microbial Ecology at Boston University
The Biology Department at Boston University invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in microbial ecology,
beginning Fall 2013 (subject to budgetary approval). We seek a colleague
using cutting-edge techniques (e.g., genomics, proteomics) to study
microbes and their regulation of ecological interactions, ecosystem
function, biogeochemical cycles, and/or global change in terrestrial or
aquatic systems. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field and are
expected to have postdoctoral experience and a strong publication
record. Responsibilities include establishing a research program with
extramural funding and participating in both undergraduate and graduate
teaching, including an undergraduate course in Microbiology. The
successful candidate will be offered newly renovated laboratory
facilities, a competitive salary and start-up package, and will have the
opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary graduate programs in
Biogeoscience and Bioinformatics/Systems Biology.
Review of applications will begin Nov. 15, 2012. Please use
AcademicJobsOnline to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae,
statements of research and teaching interests, and three representative
reprints, and arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted
through the same website.
Inquiries can be addressed to Prof. Adrien Finzi, Chair, Microbial
Ecology Search Committee, at [email protected]. Please visit the following
