Ecologists,
Sweet Briar is a small college with a four person biology
department. I teach ecology, behavior and conservation biology, and
our plant biologist teaches evolution; therefore we are looking for a
vertebrate biologist who is enthusiastic about teaching animal
physiology and comparative morphology. The candidate's research can
certainly include ecological or evolutionary questions, as long as there
is a focus on proximate mechanisms.

VERTEBRATE BIOLOGY FACULTY POSITION, TENURE-TRACK
Sweet Briar College will hire a tenure-track Assistant or Associate
Professor of Biology beginning August 2007. We seek a broadly trained
vertebrate biologist with research at the cellular to organismal level
that complements our current strengths in molecular genetics, insect
ecology and behavior, and plant evolution. Sweet Briar is a liberal
arts college for women located on 3200 acres near the Blue Ridge
Mountains in central Virginia. Teaching will include animal
physiology, comparative vertebrate morphology, introductory biology, a
course in the area of expertise, and research mentoring. A Ph.D.,
undergraduate teaching experience, and an active research program
suitable for undergraduate participation are required; postdoctoral
teaching and/or research experience is strongly preferred. Our
department values the creative integration of teaching and research, and
we collaborate both within the department and across the sciences.
In your application, please provide a statement that summarizes
your research interests and teaching goals and explicitly addresses your
ideas about research-teaching integration. A complete application will
also include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, official transcripts, and
three letters of recommendation.
