The BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado Boulder is pleased to announce a multi-position faculty hiring initiative. As an interdisciplinary research institute with global impact, we seek talented, ambitious individuals from diverse backgrounds with boundary-pushing vision in the life sciences, physical sciences, computational biology, or bioengineering. We are particularly interested in applicants whose work intersects with the institute themes of regenerative biology & engineering, degenerative diseases, infectious diseases, computational biology, or Down syndrome. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: stem cell biology and organoids, tissues and organs on a chip, biomaterials, tissue engineering, diagnostics and drug delivery, immunoengineering, multiscale and multimodal optical imaging, biomechanics, and platform development for translational medicine. We encourage creative and collaborative individuals, particularly women and people identifying with underrepresented minority groups, to apply.

The BioFrontiers Institute integrates faculty from 11 academic departments across 2 colleges to address big societal problems in biology and medicine with interdisciplinary approaches. Successful candidates will have a tenure home in either the College of Engineering and Applied Science or in the College of Arts and Sciences. They will develop an independent, internationally recognized research program that is synergistic with other programs of the University of Colorado community. Duties will include research, teaching, and service. Candidates must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D., or equivalent degree, as well as a demonstrated commitment to teaching and fostering diversity through inclusive practices.

All applications received by October 15, 2024 will receive full consideration. Review will continue until November 15, 2024. The University of Colorado Boulder conducts background checks for all final applicants. As an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, the University of Colorado is committed to diversity and equity in education and employment and is sensitive to the needs of dual-career couples.
