Synthetic Biology Faculty (Department of Nanoscience)

The Nanoscience Department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro seeks to hire a tenure track faculty member at the rank of Assistant Professor in support of its concentration in synthetic biology to its PhD and MS programs. The Department of Nanoscience is a dynamic and transdisciplinary department that is graduate-only and research-intensive. The Department of Nanoscience offers several graduate degree programs including Ph.D.'s in Nanoscience with concentrations in Advanced Materials and Synthetic Biology; a thesis-based MS; and a Professional MS in collaboration with the Bryan School of Business and Economics. The department is located within the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, an institution joined at the Dean level between the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University.

We encourage all qualified candidates in synthetic biology to apply. Of particular interest are those whose research programs will focus on metabolic engineering/bioprocess engineering, tissue engineering, synthetic cell or bioprinting; however, all strong applicants working in the field of synthetic biology broadly defined will be considered. New faculty will be expected to develop an externally supported research program, teach effectively at the graduate level, collaborate with researchers in the Joint School of Nanoscience & Nanoengineering as well as with researchers in their field, and participate in Departmental and University service activities, with opportunities at the Joint School to engage in entrepreneurial activities.
