Global Impact Open Positions

Join Michigan State University’s Global Impact Initiative, designed to address the grand challenges through the creation of over 100 new faculty positions in some of the most promising – and critical – fields of research.

Why MSU?

Michigan State University is a member of the Association of American Universities and is listed among the 100 most distinguished research universities in the world. With over $725 million dollars in research investment annually, MSU ranks in the Top 10 nationally for both National Science Foundation (NSF) and Department of Energy (DOE) funding. More than 2,000 tenure stream faculty and 17 degree-granting colleges including Engineering, Natural Science, Agriculture, three Colleges of Medicine (Human, Osteopathic, and Veterinary), Education, Humanities, Social Science, and the MSU/Department of Energy Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, create diverse and countless opportunities for collaboration. More…

Diversity and Inclusion

Global Impact is a bold initiative to meet the Grand Challenges of the 21st Century. We believe that inclusion maximizes the expertise, creativity and accomplishments of our vibrant community of scholars and only through the recruitment of a diverse group of leading researchers can we attain the remarkable goals of this initiative.

MSU is committed to achieving excellence through cultural diversity and actively encourages applications and/or nominations of women, persons of color, veterans and persons with disabilities. Job applicants are considered for employment opportunities and employees are treated without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.

East Lansing, Michigan

The Mid-Michigan area is an ideal community for individuals and families to relocate to: it’s a diverse, welcoming cluster of small- and medium-sized suburban and rural towns with relatively low living costs, high quality primary and secondary school systems, and excellent health care facilities.

It is strategically located in the center of the Great Lakes region, offering easy access to the amenities of metropolitan areas such as Chicago and Detroit, without the stresses of daily urban life.

The Michigan State University campus is located in East Lansing,  a vibrant city with a rich civic and cultural life.

Open Faculty Positions


Assistant/Associate Professor Tenure System in Isotope Biogeochemistry

Michigan State University (MSU) seeks applications for a tenure stream Assistant or Associate Professor in isotope biogeochemistry. Areas of particular interest include plant, soil, and microbial ecology and biochemistry, with a focus on questions of importance in terrestrial ecosystems or terrestrial-aquatic linkages. The ideal candidate will have a strong conceptual basis to their research, addressing fundamental questions with stable isotopes. This appointment will be based in academic departments that best fit the candidate’s interests within the College of Natural Science or the College of Agricultural and Natural Resources. MSU is undertaking campus-wide initiatives to promote an inclusive workforce and encourages applications from diverse candidates, including women and minorities.
