The appointment can begin as early as 9/1/25, pending administrative and budgetary approval. The full job description and application instructions are available on Interfolio at  Applications received on or before 11/25/24 will receive full consideration.

Previous experience in teaching and outreach is highly desirable. The candidate will be expected to teach in both the Biology and Physics Departments at the undergraduate and graduate level, with the equivalent of half the standard load in each department.

The opening is at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor. A successful candidate should have a Ph.D. in Physics, Biology, Biophysics or a related field and an ability to conduct original research that is documented by peer-reviewed publications.

This position is part of a multi-year Integrated Science Initiative that will build on NYU’s collaborative culture by recruiting faculty whose research makes explicit connections between departments and promises synergistic advances in fields ripe for cross-boundary breakthroughs.

Faculty Position in Computational Biophysics at New York University. New York University seeks applicants for a faculty position in Computational Biophysics, which will be a 50/50 joint appointment between the Department of Biology and the Department of Physics.
