Position Description

The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University (www.mcb.harvard.edu) seeks to appoint a tenured professor in developmental biology, with an emphasis on studying fundamental biological questions in either conventional or unconventional model systems. We are particularly excited about candidates who employ modern quantitative methods such as, but not limited to, imaging, genomics, and computation. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2020 or as soon as feasible. The professor will teach and advise at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

We are deeply committed to improving the diversity of Harvard’s faculty and scientific community. We strongly encourage applications from women and other underrepresented groups.
