Biofilms - Research Assistant Professor

The First-year Research Immersion (FRI) program at Binghamton University invites applications for a three-year renewable, full time Research Assistant Professor (also known as the Research Educator) position, to begin January 2026 (preferred) or August 2026. This is a 10-month non-tenure track faculty position that directly combines teaching and research. This position is for Microbial Biofilms and is open to individuals with appropriate background in biofilms or other related fields. Review of applications will begin September 22, 2025.

FRI Microbial Biofilms is a program in which a Research Educator guides first-year and second-year students in innovative research that advances the field. The Research Educator shapes the research theme, but typically focuses on bacterial biofilm (a) development, (b) virulence and pathogenesis, and (c) antimicrobial resistance mechanisms for important biofilm-forming pathogens.

Research Educators are responsible for guiding first- and second-year student cohorts (~30 per cohort) through authentic research experiences and, in doing so, will help students develop the professional skills desired by graduate schools and employers. Within the high-impact learning environment, and alongside faculty stream collaborators, the Research Educator maintains and/or expands their own research program.
