The Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, within the College of Science at Purdue University, invite applicants for up to three tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, commensurate with experience, and with departmental appointments to align with candidates' expertise and interests. Applications are welcomed from researchers in all areas with relevance to the Origins of Life, including but not limited to astrobiology, astrochemistry, prebiotic chemistry, processes related to abiogenesis and (exo)planetary habitability, (exo)planetary biogeochemistry, evolutionary biology, self-replicating and evolutionary systems, and/or synthetic biology relating to the minimum requirements for life. Experimental, computational, observational, and theoretical scientists are encouraged to apply. Applicants that work across multiple disciplines or work to develop interdisciplinary collaborations are especially encouraged to apply.
Broadly speaking, the Origins of Life search will consider fields of research and processes related to how life first evolved on Earth, how life continues to evolve, and whether and where life exists elsewhere in the universe and how it informs the origins of life on Earth.
