| Posting Summary | The and the invites applicants for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level beginning Fall 2024. SEBS at seeks a colleague who shares our passion to achieve a healthy and sustainable future through excellence in research, teaching, and outreach in evolution of microbial pathogens and/or antibiotic resistance. This hire is part of a new faculty cluster in Evolutionary Medicine that will catalyze research and teaching initiatives at Rutgers University in the emerging area of personalized medicine and shifting paradigms in how we approach treating chronic and acute illnesses. A core area of research pivotal to meeting many of the challenges that face humanity - from human health, to agriculture, to the overall health of the biosphere - is deciphering the biochemical language of life and understanding the various communication pathways that modulate bacterial behavior. We are particularly interested in expanding our faculty to include a scholar and educator working on the environmental, physiological, biochemical and/or genetic dimensions of antibiotic resistance, including factors driving the development and transfer of antibiotic resistance, or developing new solutions to these problems, including discovery and development of new antimicrobials or characterization of antimicrobial targets, though any aspect of evolutionary medicine in microbiology is of potential interest. Rutgers and SEBS are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion One of our main priorities is to diversify our faculty ranks to ensure our faculty composition reflects the diversity of our state and student population. We especially encourage applications from backgrounds underrepresented in sciences including Black, Latine, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ scientists. Successful applicants will prioritize and align with our values of inclusivity, interdisciplinary excellence and scholarly relevance leading to innovative research programs, student success, and community engagement. They will be competitive for external funding opportunities with the potential to establish an integrated research program and must be committed to teaching core and elective courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to mentoring research students at all degree levels. This position is part of a new faculty cluster in Evolutionary Medicine that will catalyze research and teaching initiatives and new collaborations at Rutgers University in the emerging area of personalized medicine and shifting paradigms in how we approach treating chronic and acute illnesses. Evolutionary medicine is an inclusive term that encompasses how evolutionary biology and genetics help us better understand the causes of illness, and how we can leverage evolution to design better, more long-lasting health interventions. Central to this initiative is the One Health continuum of human health, animal health, and the environment, because evolution that happens in a non-human host can impact human health. The aims to attract promising scholars in the areas of antibiotic resistance, disease ecology, evolutionary genetics in response to climate change, and paleoanthropology to Rutgers to work with our existing cluster faculty to create fundamental and translational discoveries and educational opportunities that will shape medicine and public health in the 21st century.
