The Department of Biology at the University of Mississippi invites applications for a tenure-track Microbiologist at the Assistant Professor level. We seek candidates studying mechanisms of bacterial interaction, whether they be bacteria-bacteria, bacteria-eukaryotic microbe, or bacteria-host. Examples of study areas include, but are not limited to, multispecies biofilms, quorum sensing, metabolic signaling, host-pathogen interactions, mutualisms, and multi-organism study systems. The successful candidate will be expected to establish an active, externally funded research laboratory, and teach an upper division General Microbiology course and another course in their area of expertise. This position will complement and extend existing departmental strengths in microbiology, symbiosis and species interactions, biodiversity and conservation biology, cell and molecular biology, and neuroscience and behavior (http://biology.olemiss.edu ).
The Department of Biology is a vibrant, broad-based department that consists of 19 tenure-track and 14 instructional faculty members, and educates over 800 undergraduate biology majors and 45 graduate students (Ph.D. and M.S.). Construction of a new $175M STEM education facility on campus is underway that will foster interdisciplinary opportunities to fulfill our commitment to inclusive excellence in biology education. The University of Mississippi is a Carnegie-Designated R1 Highest Research University located in Oxford, Mississippi, a college town known for its outstanding educational and cultural opportunities.
