Assistant or Associate Professor

TheInstitute for Systems Geneticsat NYU Langone Health invites entrepreneurial-minded investigators interested in synthetic genomics to apply for tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level within our new SynBioMed Center. More senior candidates may also be considered. The Center is bringing together experts in synthetic genomics and related fields to develop new technologies and conduct cutting-edge research that will advance our ability to improve human health. Located in our stunning new research facility in Long Island City, the SynBioMed Center is strategically adjacent to programs inBiomedical Engineering,Tech4HealthandNeuroscienceto foster highly collaborative and innovative research. This new Center is part of the Institute for Systems Genetics, headed by Jef Boeke, Ph.D., and combines the latest technologies in systems, computational and synthetic biology to tackle fundamental and translational questions in genomics, genetics, epigenetics, and quantitative cell biology. Our faculty collaborate broadly across the institution and the vibrant research environment at NYU.

We seek wet lab and computational colleagues with a strong research focus on genome engineering, genome manipulating tools (e.g.CRISPR, zinc fingers), the design and application of large libraries (protein, nucleic acid, small molecule,etc), cutting-edge mass spectrometry, tissue engineering, synthetic biology-based imaging tools, nucleic acid delivery modalities (viral or non-viral platforms), or synbio-related omics/bioinformatic advances. We are especially interested in candidates with a focus on the development of commercializable technologies. SynBioMed researchers can work closely with ISG staff members and members of NYU's Technology Opportunities and Ventures Office (TOV) to license technologies and / or create startup ventures. Faculty at the new SynBioMed Center will have full access to the Institute's resources and shared space at both the Long Island City and main campuses. State-of-the-art genomics, proteomics, robotics, and microscopy facilities are integral components of the Institute, and our investigators have access to other advanced technologies through the medical center's outstanding core facilities. Collaborations with the 'omics community in NYC, NYU Tandon School of Engineering and other related entities are encouraged. The successful candidate will hold a primary appointment in one of the many relevant NYU Grossman School of Medicine Departments, and will have opportunities to participate in one or more graduate programs.
