Job Description:

The School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) invites applications for an open rank tenure-track faculty position. The position is for a Social Epigeneticist whose research focuses on the identification of social-environmental factors, their influence on human biology through epigenetic modifications, and how they contribute to current health disparities.  Candidates for this open faculty position will be expected to maintain a robust research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and have research expertise appropriate for effectively mentoring trainees at the undergraduate, doctoral, and/or post-doctoral levels. Successful candidates will be expected to maintain extramural funding for an active research program at the University of Michigan.

Requirements include a Ph.D., experience mentoring and teaching undergraduate and graduate students, publishing peer-reviewed research, the ability to seek and secure external funding, and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Candidates must have experience in primary data collection, which involves gathering original data directly from sources through methods such as surveys, interviews, observations, or biological sampling, rather than relying solely on existing data. Candidates should demonstrate their contributions to a positive workplace culture, aligned with our schools core values.
