Assistant Professor of Biology

The Department of Biology at SUNY Geneseo invites applications for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in August 2027. The department seeks a scientist with training in Quantitative Biology with a passion for teaching who will contribute to the broad education in biology we provide to our majors and to the college community. Expertise may include, but is not limited to, computational biology, mathematical biology, theoretical biology, modeling, biostatistics, and epidemiology. A strong applicant will demonstrate an ability to contribute to Geneseo’s growing expertise in the areas of data analytics and bioinformatics.

The duties of the position include:

The mission of the Department of Biology at SUNY Geneseo is to provide students from across New York State and beyond with a well-rounded background in biology, which can be used as a solid foundation for various careers in the biological sciences, health professions, and beyond. As a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI), we aspire to promote belonging among all our students, faculty and staff. This is achieved in part by having smaller class sizes ranging from 12 to 100 students per course, even in required and introductory courses in our popular and vibrant biology programs. Outside the classroom, undergraduate students work closely and directly with faculty to produce research and in other meaningful high-impact experiences, contributing to a high rate of students heading to graduate or professional school.

Our campus has a growing cohort of faculty teaching and working in data science, analytics, and applied AI across multiple departments in the Arts and Sciences and the School of Business. Recent hires, including in bioinformatics and data analytics, offer the opportunity for collaborations within and across disciplines. Geneseo also has two shared, Lambda workstations accessible to faculty and students suitable for research computing tasks, a GIS lab, and multiple computer labs.
