Assistant Professor, MIT Department of Biology
The Massachusetts
Institute of Technology Department of Biology is seeking an outstanding
scientist for a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor.
We are interested in candidates with important research contributions,
the ability to develop a significant and independent research program,
and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education.
The applicant's research program should involve the study of cells,
organisms or the interactions among them. Areas of interest include,
but are not limited to, cell biology, developmental biology, immunology,
evolutionary biology and mammalian biology—including stem
cells, aging, and disease.
Faculty members at MIT conduct research,
teach undergraduate and graduate courses and supervise graduate
and undergraduate participation in research. Candidates must show
promise in teaching as well as in research.
We require that applicants
submit a curriculum vitae, summary of current and proposed research
programs, and three letters of recommendation online at www.academicjobsonline.org.
We request that your letters of reference be submitted by the reviewers
online via academicjobsonline.org. Alternatively, they may be submitted
as PDF attachments emailed to biologysearch@mit.edu or as paper
copies mailed to:

Tenure-Track Faculty Position at the Whitehead Institute and Department
of Biology
The Whitehead Institute and
Dept of Biology at MIT are seeking an outstanding scientist for
a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level.
We are interested in candidates who are pursuing fundamental problems
in molecular, cellular, or organismal biology, including vertebrate
and invertebrate systems. Areas of interest include but are not
limited to development, genetics, and disease models. A successful
applicant will be expected to develop a significant, independent
research program and to share our commitment to excellence in undergraduate
and graduate education.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae and a summary of current
and proposed research programs, and should arrange for three letters
of recommendation to be sent to David C. Page, Director, at:
http://nematode.wi.mit.edu/facultysearch
Completed applications will begin to be considered on November
1, 2009.

Tenure-Track Faculty Position at the Broad
Institute and Department of Biology
The Broad Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Biology seek applications for a tenure-track faculty position. The individual would serve as a Core Faculty Member at the Broad Institute and an Assistant or Associate Professor of Biology at MIT. (Note: There is an additional search for a tenure-track faculty member jointly between the Broad Institute and any other appropriate department in the Schools of Science or Engineering at MIT.)
Broad is a research partnership of MIT, Harvard and the Harvard teaching hospitals,
with the goal of applying systematic approaches to understand fundamental problems
in biology and medicine. Core Members have faculty appointments in a department
at MIT or Harvard (with the same rights and responsibilities as any other member
of their department). Their primary laboratory space is at Broad and they have
full access to the scientific and technical community at Broad. In addition
to the Core Members, the Broad community includes over 100 Associate Members
(whose space is primarily at their home institution) drawn from Harvard and
MIT, as well as professionally managed scientific platforms that work together
with Core and Associate faculty to tackle projects that benefit from new technologies
or various kinds of scale. In short, Broad is a collaborative and supportive
community where faculty can pursue ambitious biological questions of their
choosing enriched, as desired, by interactions with colleagues from across
MIT and Harvard, and by access to unusual scientific capabilities.
We seek outstanding scientists whose independent research program would thrive in this environment. The search is open with regard to the biological question of interest, with regard to approach, and with regard to system (ie, model systems or human). We encourage candidates whose research will bring new areas of inquiry at Broad, as well as candidates whose work relates to current Broad research in areas such as genomics, medical genetics, cancer, microbiology and infectious disease, chemical biology, cell and systems biology, stem cells, epigenetics, neurobiology, metabolism, and computational biology.
Faculty members at MIT conduct research, teach undergraduate and graduate courses and supervise graduate and undergraduate participation in research. Candidates must show promise in teaching as well as in research.
Additional information about the search can be found at http://www.broadinstitute.org/careers.
We require that applicants submit a curriculum vitae, summary of current and proposed research programs, and three letters of recommendation online at www.academicjobsonline.org. We request that your letters of reference be submitted by the reviewers online via academicjobsonline.org.
