About the role

Northwestern University’s Department of Molecular Biosciences invites exceptional scholars to apply for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. and demonstrate excellence in research and teaching, with interests spanning biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics, and a track record in state-of-the-art methods such as cryoET/cryoEM, single-cell omics, or AI-driven design.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
