Positions in Biology and Biological Engineering: Caltech, Pasadena, CA, United States

The Division of Biology and Biological Engineering (BBE) at Caltech is seeking new faculty in the
area of Developmental and Organismal Biology. Areas of interest include but are not limited
to: understanding development at the levels of transcription, translation and post-translational
modifications; study of stem cells in animal and plants or in culture; comparative studies of
animal and plant evolution; morphogenesis in development, studied from a chemical
and physical perspective; and external sources that shape development at the level of pattern
formation, morphology, and/or interaction of cells/organisms. We are interested in candidates
who will establish an innovative, interdisciplinary research program studying fundamental
processes in developmental and organismal biology.
Successful applicants are expected to develop innovative research programs and to be
committed to high quality teaching. Preference will be given to candidates at the Assistant
