Instructional Professor (open rank) in Quantitative Biology #MGC003b
University of Chicago (UC)
Application
Details
Posted: 09-Apr-25
Location: Chicago, IL
Internal Number: 161710
The University of Chicago's Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology is accepting applications for a full-time open rank instructional professor. The appointee will play a key role in implementing new instruction in graduate-level quantitative biology, serving the 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 partner with MCB faculty to develop and co-teach: (a) graduate-level courses that cover the fundamentals of scientific programming and quantitative data analysis, and (b) modular short courses and workshops that cover more advanced topics in data analysis, mathematical modeling/computer simulation, and best practices in rigorous and reproducible science. The appointee will play a central role in developing, evaluating, and refining the practical hands-on components of these courses and workshops, and introducing similar practical components into existing graduate courses. Through all these roles, the appointee will 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. Rank and term will be commensurate with qualifications. 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. For information on benefits, please consult the University of Chicago Benefits Guide: https://mybenefits.nfp.com/UChicago/benefits-guide/.
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 especially welcome applicants who have served as the primary instructor for an undergraduate or graduate course. We prefer applicants with experience in quantitative biology and who can begin in the summer of 2025.
To be considered, those interested must apply through The University of Chicago's Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: https://apply.interfolio.com/161710 and upload:1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) a teaching statement describing interests and past experience in teaching, mentoring students, developing courses or course materials, and providing instruction in quantitative approaches to biology, 4) names and contact information for three references.
Review of applications will continue until the position is filled or the search is closed.
