Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Biology.

Job Summary

The Department of Biology in the College of Science, at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), invites applications for a Tenure-Track Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor (open rank).

We seek to expand our strength in developing ground-breaking research in Integrative Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology.

Areas of priority include, but are not limited to, cell signaling, genetics and epigenetics studies, especially from an integrative perspective, with the long-term goal of understanding changes in cellular processes that lead to cancer and / or neurodegeneration.

Candidates employing genomic and metabolomic approaches and with interests in interdisciplinary studies are especially encouraged to apply.

This hire is a part of an omics -related hiring initiative that spans multiple departments within the College of Science.

The ideal candidate would add to existing strengths in molecular, developmental and cellular biology, and benefit from new and existing strengths in genomics and omic-scale approaches at UTA.

Collectively, these cluster hires would also benefit from existing and planned expansions of omic-related infrastructure at UTA, including the North Texas Genome Center, the Shimadzu Center for Advanced Analytical Chemistry, and the Division of Data Science.

For Assistant Professor applicants, the candidate should demonstrate strong promise for acquiring extramural grant funding and potential for producing high quality research and scholarly or creative achievements that advance the field.

Additionally, candidates for Associate or Full Professor will be expected to arrive with actively-funded research programs.

New faculty will further contribute to the UTA community through high-quality teaching using evidence-based practices to engage undergraduate and graduate (Master’s and Ph.

D.) students from various backgrounds and experiences effectively.

Start-up funds, salaries, and teaching loads are highly competitive, and successful candidates will have opportunities to apply for generous state funds with which the University and Department has had considerable success.

The appointment is expected to commence September 1, 2025, for the start of the Fall 2025 semester. CBC Requirement It is the policy of The University of Texas at Arlington to conduct a criminal background check on any applicant who is under final consideration for employment with the University.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities The successful applicant will be committed to excellence in research, teaching, and service and will be expected to teach undergraduate and / or graduate courses, build and lead a team of student researchers, implement a program of externally funded research that yields top-tier publications, and contribute to professional service within UTA and the external community.

• Required Qualifications Minimum requirements for this position include : (1) a Ph.D. or equivalent in one of the disciplines noted above or a related discipline that aligns with a focus on integrative molecular cell and developmental biology;
• 2) a strong publication record or potential in the field of expertise; (3) strong research program with existing external funding or potential for funding;

and (4) commitment to quality teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Preferred Qualifications Special Conditions for Eligibility Department Information The Department and University have numerous resources including state-of-the-art research labs, an Animal Care Facility, a Biology Genomics Core Facility, a Center for Human Genomics, an Amphibian and Reptile Diversity Research Center housing specimen and tissue collections, and affiliations with the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT).

The UT Arlington campus also houses the North Texas Genome Center, and the Shimadzu Institute for Research Technologies (a major partnership between UT Arlington and Shimadzu Scientific Instruments) that offers extensive resources for advanced imaging, mass spectrometry, proteomics, and analytical chemistry.

The Department also benefits from access to core UT-system genomics and computational resources at UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) one of the leading advanced computing centers in the U.

S. Excellent opportunities exist at UT Arlington and in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for collaborations with researchers in microbiology, ecology, evolution, cell biology, genomics, biochemistry, and biomedical sciences.

Other notable resources include :

The Institute of Biomanufacturing and Precision Medicine for North Texas (IMPRINT), first funded by the Texas Legislature in the 2024-25 biennium, is dedicated to making UTA a leader in advanced biomanufacturing and precision medicine innovation.

IMPRINT combines biotechnology, biomanufacturing, precision medicine, health data sciences, and entrepreneurship to create a one-of-a-kind hub of innovation to enhance biomanufacturing, improve health outcomes, grow life science startups, and catalyze regional economic development in North Texas.
