Tenure Track Faculty Positions

The Department of Genetics is recruiting investigators at all academic levels. Individuals with
research programs in any area of genetics/genomics are encouraged to apply. The department has
historic strength in human genetics, model organism biology, epigenetics and gene regulation,
technology development, and computational biology. The department is also home to the
McDonnell Genome Institute, one of the largest academic genome centers in the country and a
key player in producing the first human genome sequence, the first cancer genome sequence,
several surveys of human genetic diversity, and the ongoing human pangenome project.

These positions offer superb scientific resources in a collegial department with access to
sequencing and genomic analysis for research and clinical samples, high-performance
computing, genome engineering, and induced pluripotent stem cell technologies. Department
faculty members have extensive interactions with most departments at the University and with
the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders, the McDonnell Genome Institute, the Intellectual
and Developmental Disability Research Center, the Siteman Cancer Center, the Institute for
Clinical and Translational Studies, and the Institute for Informatics, among others. In keeping
with the interdisciplinary nature of modern genetics, there is the potential for joint appointments
with other departments, including, Computer Science & Engineering, Developmental Biology,
Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Neurology, Psychiatry, Pathology & Immunology,
Pediatrics, and others.

Candidates should possess a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline. To apply, submit
a cover letter (1 page), CV, a combined Research/Teaching statement (1 page past research, 1
page research plans, and 1 page teaching statement), and a commitment to diversity statement (1
page) to https://facultyopportunities.wustl.edu/apply/Posting/Detail/1010923. Names and contact
information for three referees will be required during the application process. All materials
received by December 1, 2023, will be considered by the search committee; applications
thereafter will be considered on a rolling basis. Questions should be emailed to Genetics-
