Dear all,

The Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences (KDIS) at Claremont McKenna
College (CMC) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or
Associate Professorship in Biology. We seek candidates whose research
uses experimental methods in areas such as cell and molecular biology,
molecular genetics, genomics, molecular physiology, and molecular
evolution. Techniques of particular interest include gene editing and
other genetic engineering methods, 3-D tissue and organoid systems,
and single cell -omics.

The position will begin on July 1, 2026. The successful candidate is
expected to have completed a Ph.D. in Biology or related areas and
postdoctoral training by the time of the appointment. Candidates should
also have experience teaching and/or mentoring undergraduate students.

KDIS offers an innovative and transformational Integrated Sciences program
that is organized around three challenges: Health (Genomics, Systems
Biology, and Health), Brain (Brain, Learning, and Decision Sciences),
and our Planet (Climate, Energy, and the Environment). The KDIS faculty
have a key role in developing and implementing a program that serves
as an incubator for new approaches and fosters a culture of inclusion,
creativity, and continuous improvement. The department is housed in the
new Robert Day Sciences Center.

The candidate must demonstrate potential for establishing an active
research program that involves undergraduate students, as evidenced by a
track record of high-quality scholarship and a research statement that
outlines a clear plan for their research effort at CMC. The candidate
must also demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching through
a thoughtful teaching statement and supporting evidence from prior
teaching experiences.

The teaching load at CMC is two courses per semester. The candidate
will help develop and teach a foundational biology curriculum that
will be taken by all Integrated Sciences majors and will include
integration with the foundational curriculum in chemistry, physics, and
computation. Additional teaching will include upper-division courses
in cell biology, genetics, physiology, and/or molecular biology, and
other upper-division electives in the candidate's area of expertise
in support of the department's three themes, and/or a natural science
general education course taken by all CMC students.

Given the College's commitment to cultivating an inclusive educational
environment, we seek candidates who can demonstrate a commitment
to teaching, mentoring, and inspiring students representing a broad
range of socioeconomic backgrounds, political opinions, genders, races,
ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, and religions. Moreover,
as part of its commitment to? https://www.cmc.edu/the-open-academy,
the College values freedom of expression, viewpoint diversity, and
constructive dialogue.

Anticipated Annual Salary Range:

$115,000 - $150,000 per year

Applications should include a cover letter; curriculum vitae;
research statement; teaching statement that addresses the candidate's
ability to teach, mentor, and inspire students representing a broad
range of backgrounds (optionally, this can be addressed in a separate
diversity statement); evidence of teaching effectiveness such as course
evaluations; and three representative peer-reviewed publications (either
submitted as part of the application materials or links provided from
the CV). Applicants must also submit the names and e-mail addresses of
three references; an email request will be automatically sent to them
with a link to upload their confidential recommendation letter.

Review of complete applications will commence on September 15 and will
continue until the position is filled. Preliminary interviews will be
conducted via Zoom.
