Opportunities
Our department is hiring for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions. The application portal will open on 9/15/26 and close on 10/15/26.
Assistant Professor - Biochemistry & Structural Biology
The Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Stony Brook University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. We seek outstanding investigators who study mechanistic problems in biological systems at the level of molecular structure, interactions, and dynamics. Competitive candidates will bring approaches that resolve mechanism directly, such as reconstitution of purified systems, single-molecule methods, enzymology, biophysics, and structural biology including cryo-electron microscopy and crystallography.
The Department has particular strengths in chromosome biology, the mechanisms of transcription and translation, and lipid and membrane biochemistry. We offer an outstanding environment for a junior investigator building a research program in these or related areas. Stony Brook provides exceptional infrastructure to support this kind of research, including cryo-electron microscopy and genomics core facilities, and close association with the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology and nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory, home to synchrotron crystallography beamlines at NSLS-II and cryo-electron microscopy and tomography at the Laboratory for Biomolecular structure.
Assistant Professor, Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Aging/Infectious Disease
The Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Candidates who seek to understand cell, molecular, or developmental biology using biochemical, molecular, genetic, and/or cell biological methods are encouraged to apply. The department is particularly interested in candidates whose research addresses questions relevant to aging or infectious disease.
Comprising faculty in both the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine, the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology is an active, collaborative community of scholars with broad research interests dedicated to both scientific discovery and fostering inclusive education at undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. Beyond the Department there are opportunities for collaboration with other departments and with research programs including the Stony Brook Center for Structural Biology, the Stony Brook Institute for Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology, the Stony Brook Center for Infectious Diseases, as well as the Laboratory for Biomolecular Structure at the nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory. In addition, the University maintains professionally staffed core facilities to support research including cryo-electron microscopy, proteomics, next generation sequencing and confocal microscopy.
