The College of Science (http://science.nd.edu/) at the University of Notre Dame solicits applications for eight faculty positions to commence in August 2009. These searches are part of a broad University initiative to expand interdisciplinary scholarship in the sciences. Major efforts are being developed in the areas of global health, biophysics, imaging, cancer biology, and the environment, which include substantial faculty and infrastructural growth. In all cases, new faculty members are expected to initiate and maintain vigorous extramurally-funded research programs and to be effective teachers at both the undergraduate and the graduate level.


The Department of Biological Sciences invites applications at the assistant or associate professor level for an individual working on an infectious disease pathogen or pathogen vector of importance in the area of global health. The candidate should have a Ph.D. or equivalent and a demonstrated record of research and teaching excellence. Individuals with expertise in any area involving the biology of a human pathogen, pathogen vector, or the response of the human host to infection, particularly those with cross-disciplinary research programs, are encouraged to apply.

Qualified individuals should send their curriculum vitae, a summary of current research and teaching interests, and the names and addresses of three references to: Global Health Search Committee, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556-0369. For more information, please email the search chair Dr. Frank Collins at frank@nd.edu.

Applications will be accepted until December 15, 2008, although review of applications will commence immediately.
