Job Description

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (CCB) in the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science at Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) seeks to fill a faculty position in Chemical Biology at an open professorial rank (Assistant Professor or Associate Professor) starting in Fall 2023.

CCB is known for its legacy of fostering and nurturing groundbreaking, world-class innovation. CCB was among the first to offer an undergraduate Chemical Biology degree in 1978 and today remains at the forefront of Chemical Biology with our internationally recognized faculty in the healthcare domain as well as with professionally diverse experiences in academia and industry. The department currently consists of 18 full time faculty members, approximately 145 undergraduates, 40 Masters, and 25 doctoral students. The CCB faculty is active in research and has brought in $4.2M research funding from NIH and NSF over the last two years.

The strategic vision of CCB, newly formulated in 2021, will strengthen our department to be a community of researchers with molecular, cellular, and computational minds, dedicated to educating the next generation of science leaders and innovators and exploring transformative scientific ideas for global societal impact. Per this strategic vision, we would like to further expand our research in Chemical Biology and complement current strengths in computational chemistry, drug discovery, and cancer research.

The ideal candidate is expected to build a strong externally funded research program aimed at generating new insights into compelling problems in Chemical Biology. The candidate is also expected to develop and deliver innovative undergraduate and graduate courses. This position requires the candidate to have a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Biology or related fields. All research areas in Chemical Biology will be considered to complement our current strengths mentioned above with preference to bioanalytical chemistry and bioinformatics.
