Tenure-track ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR Position
Department of Biological Sciences
Focus on Cell Signaling
Successful candidates will demonstrate an ability to establish a vibrant, extramurally
funded program of research, to work collaboratively within existing research strengths at
WSU, and to contribute to undergraduate and graduate courses in their area(s) of
expertise. A second position in “-omics” research is also open in the department, and
dual-career couples are encouraged to apply.
A competitive start-up package will be tailored to the specific needs of the successful
