Ph.D. Biology

The objective of the Ph.D. program is to produce scientists capable of performing significant independent research in their area of specialization, and of effectively communicating their work to other scientists, policy-makers, and the general public. This is achieved through three types of training:

Critical-thinking and quantitative skills to understand current issues in biology, including critical analysis of the primary literature in their chosen area of specialization.

High-level research techniques — an appropriate combination of laboratory, computational and literature based skills — and use these to complete a dissertation that expands our understanding of a particular area of biology. Upon completion, a graduating student will be capable of planning and conducting a hypothesis-driven research program.

Professional communication of their work both formally and informally, to audiences as diverse as the general public, undergraduates, or world-renowned researchers in their field of specialization. This crucial skill will enable them to pursue careers in academia, government, private industry or non-profit organizations.

Job Opportunity Potential

Assistant/Associate Professor

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology seeks candidates to fill a tenure-track position at the assistant or associate professor level in the areas of statistical data science and machine learning. The appointment is expected to start in Fall 2025.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, or related discipline with strong research, funding, and teaching potential. The department is particularly interested in candidates who, in addition to demonstrating research excellence, will be highly effective at teaching data science and statistics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. At the university's discretion, the education and experience prerequisites may be exempted where the candidate can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the university, an equivalent combination of education and experience specifically preparing the candidate for success in the position.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology seeks candidates to fill a tenure-track position at the assistant/associate professor level. Candidates in any area of applied and computational mathematics will be considered, with a preference given to those whose research programs have applications to the physical and life sciences, including materials science, ocean and atmosphere science, active and biological media, fluid dynamics, wave propagation and scattering, and mathematical biology.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in mathematics, applied mathematics, or a related discipline and strong research and teaching potential for consideration at the assistant professor level. Outstanding candidates with a strong track record of research, funding, and teaching will be considered at the associate professor level.
