Budget Title: Postdoctoral Associate (SL-1)
Salary: $80,000 (full-time, temporary)
The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SOPPS) at Binghamton University seeks applicants for a SUNY Promoting Recruitment, Opportunity, Diversity, Inclusion and Growth plus (PRODiG+) Postdoctoral fellowship. The fellowship is a 12-month appointment for two years, with a teaching obligation equivalent of one course per year in the fellow's research, and it comes with a highly competitive compensation package. The preferred area of research specialization is pharmacology with a focus on cancer or immune regulation. SOPPS will strongly support the fellows' research with the goal of converting their position to a tenure track assistant professor at the conclusion of the fellowship. The standard teaching load for tenured and tenure-track faculty is team-teaching ~100 hours per year.
The Fellowship is part of the SUNY-wide PRODiG+ initiative, which focuses on two goals: (1) increase the number and share of excellent diverse faculty committed to advancing the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and (2) strengthen the pipeline for retention and support of those faculty. Additional information on the PRODiG+ Fellowship can be found at https://www.suny.edu/prodig-plus/fellowship/.
