The Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology (MGM) is committed to advancing a workforce that promotes research, educational, and service excellence; providing equitable instruction and mentoring for trainees and students; and helping to support equitable care for our diverse patient populations.
We in MGM honor the diversity of the state of New Mexico, with a racially and ethnically varied population that is largely rural. We are proud that our department members vary in their cultural and financial backgrounds, origins, ethnicities, physical abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, beliefs, and approaches to life and research. Our intent is to create an environment that supports each as a valued individual. MGM is committed to providing an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment of any kind. We extend this commitment to our research, training, and education programs by creating a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and teamwork.
The University of New Mexico is an Equal Opportunity Employer, making decisions without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, or any other protected class.
