**FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT**
Lehman College, of The City University of New York, ranks among the top five institutions in the nation for fostering social mobility. A four-year Hispanic-Serving Institution in the Bronx, Lehman offers bachelor's, master's, and advanced degrees and certificate programs in the Liberal Arts, sciences, and professions. The College's community-driven mission and notable academic programs attract a diverse, international enrollment of over 15,000 students who take courses on its 37-acre, tree-lined campus and online degree programs. Many thousands more community members benefit yearly from its active cultural, educational, health, and economic outreach programs and services.
The Department of Biological Sciences of Lehman College, The City University of New York (CUNY) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant Professor rank, starting September 2026. We seek outstanding scientists with a strong publication record, postdoctoral experience and significant research experience in the field of plant biology. The candidate is expected to build an active and collaborative, externally funded research program, to participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching and research training, and contribute to service in the department, university, and scientific community.
We seek applications from collaborative individuals with research interests in areas of plant biology that are synergistic with ongoing plant-related research at Lehman, CUNY, The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), and the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) including, but not limited to: biochemistry and synthetic biology, computational biology, developmental biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and plant-organismic interactions. We encourage applicants integrating modern approaches, computational biology and field experiments.
Plant Biology at Lehman and CUNY
Lehman College and NYBG serve as a central hub for plant biology research in New York City. These two institutions share a longstanding partnership through the CUNY Plant Sciences PhD program-an exceptional program that stands out as the only one in the Northeast, and one of the few nationwide, affiliated with a world-renowned botanical garden. Such a partnership provides access to diverse resources and expertise of the NYBG curators who serve on the Doctoral faculty at the CUNY Graduate Center along with CUNY colleagues. Today the CUNY Plant Sciences PhD program includes 36 doctoral faculty, of whom 22 are NYBG scientists. The CUNY Plant Sciences PhD programhas since expanded to include faculty from multiple CUNY campuses. The new Plant Biology faculty member is expected to add synergies and benefit from ongoing plant research at Lehman (metabolomics, plant physiology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, bioinformatics, genetics, research on food insecurity and human health, urban ecology, plant development including crops such as corn, wheat, strawberries, rice, oranges, medicinal plants, and model systems); CCNY (photosynthesis and energy transfer; plant polymers); Brooklyn (algae, stress, biomass, biofuels; computational biology; York (genomics of plant metabolism); ASRC (structural biochemistry; ecosystem/environmental ecology; the New York Structural Biology Center; and NYBG (artificial Intelligence, plant bioinformatics; spatial modeling, climate change, big data/global ecology,evolutionary genomics, computational biology, plant genomics, seed developmental genomics, leaf modeling for photosynthesis, remote sensing, ethnobotany, taxonomy, systematics, and conservation). Doctoral students of plant biology are drawn from the CUNYGraduate Center Plant Sciences PhD program; Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior PhD program; PhD programs in Biology; Biochemistry; and Chemistry. Plant growth facilities include greenhouses, controlled chambers, hydroponics, and field space complemented by wet lab research spaces and a new Science Building for research and teaching.
