Faculty Positions in Genome Sciences (Open Rank and Assistant Professor)

The Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington invites applications for two full-time faculty positions with twelve-month appointments: one open-rank position (tenure-track Assistant Professor, or tenured Associate Professor or Professor) and one tenure-track Assistant Professor position. The department addresses leading-edge questions in biology and medicine by developing and applying genetic, genomic, proteomic and computational approaches that exploit the genomic information available for humans, model organisms and many other species, and welcomes candidates in any area of genome sciences, broadly defined.

Faculty develop or continue independent, externally funded research programmes and teach and mentor graduate, undergraduate and postdoctoral trainees. The anticipated start is September 2027; base salary ranges are $135,000-$140,004 (Assistant), $170,004-$190,008 (Associate) and $200,004-$250,692 (Professor) per year. Applications submitted by 4 December 2026 receive full consideration.

PhD (or foreign equivalent) in a relevant field, or an MD (or foreign equivalent), by the date of appointment; Associate Professor and Professor candidates need a record of research, teaching and service meeting UW criteria for those ranks. Submit a one-page cover letter and the other materials listed via Interfolio.
