This is a tenure-track position; the majority of the time will be spent on research, with additional teaching and service responsibilities. The Department is a highly interdisciplinary unit with 34 primary faculty members who influence the fields of human genetics and genomics, model systems (including invertebrate, mouse, and human induced pluripotent stem cells), translational genomics, cancer genetics/genomics, systems biology research, chemical biology and therapeutics, developmental genetics, and clinical genetics. The successful candidate’s lab space will be within the Integrated Science and Engineering Building (ISEB), a state-of-the-art research building opening October2026. ISEB’s Life Science Therapeutics cluster, led by Prof. DrewAdams of the Department, pairs chemical synthesis and chemical biology facilities to accelerate the discovery of small‑molecules with therapeutic potential. Beyond the ISEB, the Department maintains close ties with UniversityHospitals, Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, and the Seidman Cancer Center, providing unique opportunities for translational science. Advanced core facilities in high‑throughput small‑molecule screening, genomic sequencing, transcriptomics, pluripotent stem cell production, imaging, engineered mouse models, and bioinformatics significantly enhance research within the department. Responsibilities and Duties: Initiate or expand a thriving independent research program at the interface of chemistry and biology.
