CABM, founded in 1985, has an outstanding track record in fundamental biomedical research and includes faculty within Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) and Rutgers-New Brunswick. The three departments include investigators with expertise in neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, cell signaling, chromatin structure and function, and drug discovery. Successful candidates will be provided with competitive start-up packages, access to high-performance computing clusters and other core resources, and modern laboratory space at CABM, and will be expected to develop and maintain strong, externally funded research programs, and participate in collaborative projects with other Departments and Institutes on the campus. Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.

Qualified candidates must have a Ph.D., M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent graduate degree, a demonstrated record of significant research, the potential to make substantial contributions as an independent investigator, and a commitment to teaching undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. Junior candidates with current funding or grants under review are preferred. Mid-level candidates are expected to have a successful history of funding. Tenure-track appointments will be made through one of the three basic science departments at RWJMS, with full access to graduate training programs and research resources. Participation in Rutgers graduate, undergraduate, and medical student training programs through mentorship and teaching will be highly encouraged. Research programs utilizing interdisciplinary and translational approaches that develop interactions with the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, the Rutgers Institute for Translational Medicine and Science, and the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) are encouraged.
