Faculty Position in Aging Research
Professor / Associate Professor / Assistant Professor

The Department of Biology (https://www.sas.rochester.edu/bio/) and the University of Rochester Aging Institute (https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/university-of-rochester-aging-institute.aspx ) invite applications for an open rank tenure-track faculty position. Tenure upon initial appointment for qualified senior level candidates will be considered, contingent on favorable review of the candidate’s dossier by the department, the dean and the Provost.

The biology of aging is a strategic priority at the University of Rochester. We are seeking outstanding candidates whose research programs address fundamental biological mechanisms of aging and who have demonstrated excellence, originality, and productivity in research. Our multidisciplinary biology department affords opportunities for intellectual interactions across diverse research disciplines, with faculty working in the areas of aging, intracellular transport, proteomics, chromatin, DNA repair, RNA biochemistry, transposable elements, biological imaging, synthetic biology, development, and evolutionary biology. This position will be supported by the University of Rochester Aging Institute, a university-wide initiative that integrates aging-related research, patient care, education and community research across campus.

The Department of Biology’s research and graduate programs are located in a world-class life sciences research campus that provides ample opportunities for interactions and collaborations with the adjacent University of Rochester Medical Center. In addition to the Aging Institute, faculty research is supported by a number of university initiatives including the Institute for Data Science, the Center for RNA Biology, the Stem Cell Institute, and the Cancer Center. Research activities across the University are supported by core facilities for imaging, proteomics, functional genomics, computation, small molecule screening, and flow cytometry.
