The University of Chicago\'s Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell
Biology is accepting applications for a full-time instructional
professor. Rank and term will be commensurate with qualifications. This
is a career-track position with potential progression, competitive
salary, and benefits.
The appointee will play a key role in implementing new instruction in
graduate-level quantitative biology, serving a newly funded Molecular
and Cell Biology (MCB) training program, as well as other National
Institutes of Health T32 training programs and associated graduate
programs. The appointee will be responsible for partnering with MCB
faculty to develop and co-teach new courses and workshops, including (a)
a new graduate course on fundamentals of biological data analysis, (b)
modular short courses and workshops covering advanced topics in
quantitative data analysis, mathematical modeling/computer simulation,
and best practices in rigorous and reproducible science and (c)
practical workshops that align with the missions of core facilities
serving graduate students in these programs. The appointee will be
responsible for developing, evaluating and refining the practical
hands-on components of these courses and workshops, and for introducing
similar components into existing graduate courses. We especially welcome
applicants who have served as the primary instructor for an
undergraduate or graduate course.
In addition, the appointee will also be expected to provide mentorship
and guidance to graduate students seeking to establish core competency
in programming, computation and statistics, or seeking advanced
knowledge and mastery over quantitative methods and approaches specific
to their thesis research. The terms and conditions of employment for
this position are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between
the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the University.
Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must: 1) have a
PhD or equivalent degree in quantitative biology or a related field, and
2) have prior university level teaching experience, either as the
primary instructor or as a teaching assistant. We prefer applicants with
experience in quantitative biology and who can begin on or around 1 July
2023.
To be considered, those interested must apply through The University of
Chicago\'s Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept
applications: http://apply.interfolio.com/120977 and upload: 1) a cover
letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) a teaching statement in part
describing knowledge and experience in teaching, mentoring students,
developing new courses, and providing instruction in quantitative
approaches to biology, 4) a syllabus from a course taught as primary
instructor, and 5) names and contact information for three references.
Review of applications will end when the position is filled.
