The MIT Department of Biological Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level, to begin July 2010 or thereafter. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in a science or engineering discipline related to biological engineering. A more senior faculty appointment may be considered in special cases. The candidate is expected to direct a pioneering research program that develops and applies transformative biological technologies in critical areas such as energy, the environment, nutrition, or novel materials. Faculty duties also include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and supervision of student research.

A position as Visiting Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is available at Oklahoma State University, starting on July 1, 2010. Emphasis will be on undergraduate teaching, advising, and recruiting, with the opportunity to conduct research. The annual renewal of this non-tenure track position is contingent upon available funding.

The Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) invites applications for (2) tenure track Assistant Professor positions.
