Plant Metabolomics – Assistant/Associate Professor

School of Integrative Plant Science, Section of Plant Biology

College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University

The School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University is seeking applicants for a 9-month tenure-track position in Plant Metabolomics with an expected primary affiliation in the Section of Plant Biology and with research and teaching responsibilities at the level of Assistant/Associate Professor. The successful candidate will develop an internationally-recognized and well-funded research program in Plant Metabolomics that leverages technological innovation and high-resolution instrumentation to elucidate metabolic pathways and identify critical plant primary or secondary compounds. Possible research areas include, but are not limited to: (1) identification of metabolic networks, evaluation of metabolic flux and regulatory control points, and integration of such information in a “systems” context; (2) the phylogenetic diversity of plant primary and secondary compounds; (3) plant metabolites in an environmental and ecological context, e.g. in relation to biotic or abiotic stress; and (4) the potential for utilization of such compounds in biomedicinal or nutraceutical applications or for the improvement of crops. The successful candidate will teach an undergraduate course and develop a graduate-level course in Plant Metabolomics. This position will be 60% research and 40% teaching.

QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in Biology, Plant Biology, Chemistry, Biophysics, or related disciplines. The candidate must be able to work in a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural setting. Well-qualified applicants are expected to have a demonstrated record of publication excellence. Prerred qualifications include postdoctoral experience, successful collaborative experience, and ability to communicate fectively with diverse groups, including students, colleagues, and external stakeholders.
