Job description

Description
The Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics. The appointment is intended to be at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at a higher level may also be considered. We seek outstanding candidates with a strong record in cellular and subcellular biophysics. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, uncovering how key characteristics of living systems arise from the interplay between supramolecular cellular structures, how the emergent cellular circuitry defines goals and enables robust decision making, and how metabolic resources are allocated. This encompasses understanding of how information is learned, stored, transduced, and processed across subcellular structures. Applicants with theoretical, data science, or experimental backgrounds within biological physics are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will strengthen and extend research programs of current biophysics faculty in the Department of Physics and collaborate with broader life science activities across many departments at CMU and the wider Pittsburgh area.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will have a Ph. D. degree in Physics or a closely-related field and preferably relevant post-doctoral research experience. Selection will be based in part on a record of research publications in internationally-recognized peer-reviewed journals, prospects for obtaining external funding, and the potential to become an outstanding teacher/mentor of students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels from a range of academic majors and intended career paths.
Application Instructions
Application review will begin by November 1, 2025, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. For full consideration, please submit your package by November 30, 2025. Application packages include a cover letter, CV, publication list, and research and teaching statements. In addition, candidates should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded (a prompt will be sent automatically to the applicant's references when their contact information is entered at the Interfolio site).
If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Markus Deserno at deserno@andrew.cmu.edu
