About this position
North Carolina State University is advertising a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Animal Science in Raleigh, North Carolina. The appointment is described as 80% research and 20% academic/teaching, with a strong expectation that the successful candidate will develop an internationally recognized, externally funded research program.
The position is centered on animal science and nutritional science, especially nutritional biochemistry and metabolism of animals with a strong interest in livestock species. Preferred research areas include gastrointestinal health, immunology, endocrinology, nutrigenomics, metabolomics, gastrointestinal microbiology, digestive physiology, and muscle biology. The role also supports the Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Nutrition and the Food Animal Initiative, and includes teaching at least one core graduate-level nutrition course each year.
Eligibility highlights include a Ph.D. in animal science or a relevant field by the start date, a record of peer-reviewed publication, and the potential to build an extramurally funded research program. The posting also values post-doctoral research experience, strong communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a collegial, interdisciplinary environment.
Funding information is faculty-employment based rather than student funding: the position is a 9-month tenure-track appointment with salary commensurate with experience. The department emphasizes support for competitive federal funding and access to NC State research facilities and collaborative programs.
To apply, candidates should submit a cover letter, CV/resume, and contact information for three professional references through the NC State employment site. Review of applications begins 30 days after the job opens, and the posting remains open until filled.
