VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY

As part of Virginia Tech's expanding presence in emerging interdisciplinary programs and degrees in nanoscience, neuroscience, systems biology, and computational science, the College of Science seeks to fill tenure-track or tenured faculty positions. These new faculty positions signify a continued University commitment to the importance of interdisciplinary science to help solve major societal challenges in energy, the environment, and health. The successful candidate will be expected to establish an internationally recognized research program and be an effective teacher in graduate and undergraduate courses. Appointments at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor will be made in one of the College's eight departments: biological sciences, chemistry, economics, geosciences, mathematics, physics, psychology, and statistics.

New faculty associated with these interdisciplinary programs and degrees will be expected to participate in the College of Science's recently launched Integrated Science Curriculum (www.science.vt.edu/isc) and interdisciplinary courses, which collectively serve to build strong research and educational partnerships across the sciences.
