Assistant Professor in Environmental Physiology at Cornell University

Cornell University

CALS integrates discovery, education, and engagement to address the most pressing challenges in agriculture, food systems, and the environment. As Cornell’s Land-grant college, CALS fosters innovation that connects fundamental science to practical solutions locally and globally.

The CALS Roadmap to 2050 spearheads the "solutions century" by collaborating across the university, our network of partners, and diverse communities to coalesce around the world’s leading challenges. We connect across all of New York state and the world to enliven our innovation ecosystem, connecting local to global programs in the form of new collaborations and basic discoveries.

We are seeking applicants for a 9-month, full-time tenure-track position in Environmental Physiology at the assistant professor level. The successful applicant is expected to maintain an internationally recognized and competitively funded research program that takes an integrative approach to investigate how environmental stressors impact animal physiology, health, and productivity. Emphasis should be on responses of physiological systems to stress. Physiological systems of interest include metabolism and digestion, thermal biology, respiration, exercise physiology, ion and osmotic regulation, immune function, endocrine function, reproductive biology and mammary gland biology. The overarching goal is to elucidate mechanisms of physiological adaptation to environmental stressors that inform strategies that enhance resilience and health in animals and/or model systems.

Outstanding research scholarship is expected, as is excellence and commitment in teaching, translation of knowledge, and inclusive mentoring of trainees. We seek colleagues with demonstrated success and future promise across these areas who will both benefit from and contribute to a vibrant culture of inclusive excellence at Cornell. The position offers opportunities for engagement, service and leadership within the department, college, and university. Broad interdisciplinary collaboration is encouraged, with extensive opportunities to build partnerships across campus in nutrition, microbiology, immunology, reproduction, genetics and genomics, bioengineering, computational biology, and sustainability science. Institutional networks such as the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability, the Center for Vertebrate Genomics and the Cornell Reproductive Sciences Center provide strong platforms for collaborative research and training. The successful recruit will have access to advanced animal facilities supporting both farm-based and life science model systems, as well as core instrumentation, analytical services, and computational and genomic resources to support the development of an integrative and high-impact research program in environmental physiology.

Responsibilities: This position has an effort split of 50% research and 50% teaching. 

Research (50%) – Understanding how organisms adapt to environmental stress is fundamental to sustaining health and physiological function across animal systems. The research emphasis should aim to define how environmental factors alter homeostasis and the ways animals respond to those stresses. The ideal candidate will use integrative experimental approaches investigating mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, systemic and/or organismal level. Comparative work in any animal system is encouraged, with the goal of linking those discoveries to strategies that improve animal health, enhance resilience, and illuminate conserved pathways relevant to human health and health span. This position is expected to foster an internationally recognized research program that secures competitive extramural support. The program should demonstrate scientific innovation and potential for long-term impact in environmental and comparative physiology. A strong commitment to mentoring students and postdoctoral researchers in a collaborative and inclusive environment that promotes scientific curiosity, technical rigor, and professional growth is also expected. 

Teaching (50%) – Teaching responsibilities will support the Department of Animal Science’s mission to provide students with a strong foundation in animal biology and integrative physiology. The position offers the opportunity to develop and teach courses in environmental physiology and related areas, with an emphasis on how animals adapt to environmental stressors at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels. This may include creation of a new upper-level undergraduate or graduate course focused on stress physiology, as well as contributions to existing courses on different aspects of animal science. Responsibilities will al...

Cambridge Science Centre
For over ten years, Cambridge Science Centre has been sparking curiosity and a
love of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) in young people across
the East of England. We focus mainly on ages 4 to 14, because the evidence is
clear: building confidence and interest in STEM early on can open up all sorts of
opportunities later in life.

Our programmes are designed to be joyful, surprising and genuinely
eye-opening—experiences that help young people see themselves and the world in
new ways. Through hands-on exploration and open-ended learning, we aim to
complement formal education and help every child find what excites them most
about STEM.

We develop and deliver a wide range and style of STEM engagement content for
young people from early years through to age 16—and we work closely with the
parents, carers and educators who play such an important role in their lives.

Each year, around 30,000 young people take part in our activities—whether in
schools, communities or at our own centres—and our goal is always the same: to
help them imagine and shape a brighter future. With the recent opening of our new
permanent venue in Cambridge, alongside continued support through our
semi-permanent pop-up centre in Wisbech, we’re now able to build deeper, more
sustained relationships with the communities that benefit most from what we offer.

Cambridge  Science  Centre  is  an  independent  educational  charity  (Registered
Charity No. 1146349). You can find out more at www.cambridgesciencecentre.org.
