Associate Professor- Department of Cell & Molecular Biology, Rowan Virtua SOM

The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine invites applications for an Associate Professor position. We seek an accomplished investigator with an established, independent research program focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to chronic human disease pathogenesis. We especially encourage candidates whose research bridges fundamental cell and molecular biology with disease mechanisms, such as translational biology, model systems, or emerging experimental and computational approaches. The successful candidate will join a productive, collaborative department with expertise in cardiovascular disease, carcinogenesis, immunology, organelle biology, and genetics. The position is research-intensive, with limited teaching responsibilities for graduate or medical education. Salary, start-up funds, and other considerations will be commensurate with experience. Rowan also provides a comprehensive benefits package. Rowan University Rowan University is a comprehensive public research university with a growing portfolio of biomedical, clinical, engineering, and translational research. The University offers a distinctive interdisciplinary research environment that brings together investigators across medicine, biomedical sciences, engineering, data science, and other fields. Rowan is one of only a small number of universities in the United States with both M.D. and D.O. medical education programs, providing exceptional opportunities for collaboration across basic, translational, and clinical research. Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine(Rowan-Virtua SOM) Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine(Rowan-Virtua SOM) is located on the University’s Stratford, New Jersey campus, within the greater Philadelphia metropolitan region. The location provides access to a rich biomedical and academic research environment while offering convenient proximity to Philadelphia, the New Jersey shore, and New York City. Department of Cell and Molecular Biology Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine is committed to advancing fundamental and translational research to define the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying human disease. The Department brings together investigators studying diverse aspects of cell biology, molecular biology, metabolism, organelle function, neuroscience, and disease pathogenesis. The Department is expanding its research enterprise and seeks to recruit outstanding investigators who will complement and strengthen existing areas of expertise while establishing new interdisciplinary collaborations across Rowan-Virtua SOM and Rowan University. Faculty have access to modern research facilities, advanced instrumentation, shared research resources, and opportunities for collaboration with basic scientists, physician‑scientists, clinicians, computational investigators, and engineers across the University. The Department particularly values research programs that integrate innovative experimental models and emerging technologies.
