Regulation in Plants
Lehman College, The City University of New York
The City University of New York (CUNY) is undertaking a major initiative
in the biosciences. The University is recruiting tenure-track faculty
into three focus areas: macromolecular assemblies, neurosciences, and
cell signaling and regulation. These areas build upon well-funded
research themes at the CUNY campuses. Lehman College is seeking faculty
in the focus area of cell signaling and/or regulation in plants. The
candidate will join a strong and active plant sciences doctoral program
that is a long-standing partnership between CUNY and the New York
Botanical Garden (http://a32.lehman.cuny.edu/PlantPhD). Ongoing research
in plant biology at CUNY includes: biotechnology, metabolic engineering
of plant biosynthetic pathways, natural product biochemistry, medicinal
plants and economic botany, signal transduction, plant-microbial
interactions, in vitro production of plant natural products, plant
development, cell biology, ecology, biodiversity and systematics.
Successful candidates will be expected to establish and/or sustain
active, independent programs of extramurally funded research in
designated areas; teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels;
publish in peer-reviewed scientific literature; advise students; serve
on college and university committees and participate in the life of the
college. Qualifications: Ph.D in appropriate area, demonstrated
commitment to teaching and research. Postdoctoral and teaching
experience as well as demonstrated ability to publish in peer-reviewed
journals and obtain extramural funding preferred. Appointment rank and
