The newly established Center for Precision Environmental Health (https://www.bcm.edu/centers/precision-environmental-health ) invites applications for an open-rank faculty search. Applications will be considered for tenured/tenure-track Assistant, Associate or Full Professor.

Center faculty hold academic appointments in one or more of Baylor’s basic, translational or clinical departments including Molecular & Cellular Biology, Molecular & Human Genetics, and Medicine. Ample opportunities exist for collaborations with faculty across the Texas Medical Center, including U.T. MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Health, Texas A&M University, Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston Methodist Research Institute, University of Houston, and Rice University.

Job Duties:
The successful candidate will use innovative approaches to study important questions in cell and molecular biology and gene-environment interactions, broadly defined. Applicants’ research programs should complement existing Center faculty strengths in environmental health, cell and developmental biology, genetics, epigenetics, cancer biology, neurocognitive/neurodegenerative disease, and model systems of human disease, including vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms. The selected candidate will also be expected to advance Baylor’s strategic plan by contributing to initiatives in Population Health and Precision Medicine.

Minimum Qualifications:
Candidates must hold a doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) with a strong record of scholarly activity. Candidates for appointment at the Associate or Full Professor levels should be nationally or internationally recognized scholars with consistent externally funded research programs.
