The Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, an independent
not-for-profit research organization, invites applications for up to two
tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate level. We seek
candidates whose research addresses fundamental questions in plant biology.
Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, small
molecule biochemistry, cell biology and epigenetics. Applications from
scientists addressing research questions not currently represented at BTI
are encouraged. This includes plant and microbial research with
applications in renewable energy programs. BTI is located on the central
Cornell University campus and has a research-oriented environment with
state-of-the-art facilities. This includes expanded plant growth
facilities, a new cell imaging suite and new mass spectrometry facilities.
Our location offers superb opportunities for interactions and formal links
to appropriate Cornell departments. We strongly encourage applications from
women and minorities. BTI maintains family-friendly policies and is an
equal opportunity employer. Applicants should submit a cover letter,
curriculum vitae and a concise description of research plans (~ 3 pages).
Please submit applications and have letters from three references sent to
