The Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Colorado Denver is seeking to hire a tenure-track faculty member in cell and molecular biology at the rank of Assistant Professor. All research areas in cell and molecular biology will be considered, with a preferred emphasis on stem cell research using cell culture, organoid, or non-vertebrate study systems. We seek candidates who are interdisciplinary, collaborative, and student-centric. As an integrative biology department, we welcome multidisciplinary research approaches that may include, e.g., modern methods in gene editing and high throughput sequencing. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous and sustainable portfolio built on externally funded research; mentor undergraduate, MS, and PhD students; develop innovative and inclusive teaching practices; and perform service for the department, university, and beyond.

The Biology Major is the largest undergraduate program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, serving approximately 2,000 undergraduates and emphasizing basic knowledge in biology ranging from cell and molecular biology to ecology and evolution, as well as the development of skill sets in the scientific method, critical thinking, and technical writing. Our PhD and master’s programs in Integrative and Systems Biology encourage multi-disciplinary faculty participation from across the CU Denver Campus, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and the Anschutz Medical Campus.
