The Department of Microbiology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville is seeking candidates for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor level focusing on host-microbe interactions. Competitive applicants will have a PhD and at least two years postdoctoral experience. The person that fills this position will be expected to set up an extramurally funded laboratory and conduct research in an innovative, cutting-edge area that explores mechanisms by which a host responds to a pathogenic microorganism or microbial community. Specific areas include, but are not limited to, innate or adaptive immune response to viral, bacterial, fungal, or protozoan pathogens, pathogen immune manipulation, or pathogen replication within the host. Our faculty members have broad interests in microbial pathogenesis, host response, and microbial ecology, with labs that work on bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral pathogens. In addition, there is a strong interest in immunological responses to microbes, and both animal and plant host systems are well-represented among our current projects. Candidates with experimental systems that complement or strengthen any of these areas, including microbiome-related projects will be given consideration. Our department has strong interdisciplinary ties to engineering, chemistry, veterinary, and material science labs at the University of Tennessee Knoxville campus, the adjacent Agricultural campus, Oak Ridge National Lab (~20 miles away) and the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. The appointee will participate in both graduate and undergraduate education. They will be expected to contribute to an introductory microbiology course, and an immunology or pathogenesis course that may be tailored to the applicant’s specific area of expertise. The position will come with a competitive institutional salary (9-months) and a generous start-up package, as well as ample laboratory space.
