Description

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions in the areas of microbial pathogenesis, virology, and immunology. Applicants working in virology, viral pathogenesis, or immunology as it relates to infection are particularly encouraged to apply. Successful applicants are expected to establish and maintain an extramurallyfunded research program and actively participate in the teaching and service missions within the Department and University. The positions include a competitive start-up package, excellent fringe benefits, ample office/laboratory space, and access to state-of-the-art core facilities, instrumentation, and BSL3 and animal BSL3 space.

The Department (https://renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/mi) along with the adjacent Center for Infectious Diseases (http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/cid/) provide a highly interactive scientific community through collaborative interactions with faculty throughout the Renaissance School of Medicine and University.

The position offers competitive startup support and modern research space. Stony Brook University maintains state-of-the-art core facilities that support areas including microscopy and animal imaging, flow cytometry, RNA and single cell sequencing, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, animal maintenance, and BSL3 containment. The recently completed Laboratory for Comparative Medicine provides animal facilities for ABSL3 research. The dynamic intellectual environment includes the Stony Brook University tertiary care Hospital and Cancer Center, the nearby Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a VA Hospital and Research Center, and the Brookhaven National Laboratory research facilities.

The Department provides a collaborative and supportive mentoring environment to foster faculty success and the University provides additional opportunities for professional development to assist faculty in meeting their goals.
