Wright State University Department of Biological Sciences The Department of Biological Sciences invites applications for three tenure-track faculty positions at the level of ASSISTANT or ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR. Successful candidates must have a doctorate by time of appointment and sufficient research experience to establish and maintain an independent, extramurally funded research program. Positions available include: . Global Change Ecology: We seek a candidate who explores the effects of global change on ecological processes in aquatic and/or terrestrial ecosystems at the landscape, regional or global scale. Aspects of global change include, but are not limited to, climate change, changing use or quality of land or water, species invasions or losses, and emerging diseases. This research will complement current departmental strengths in studying the ecological and evolutionary consequences of species interactions to individuals, communities and ecosystems. . Molecular Ecology/Ecological Genomics. The successful candidate should use molecular tools to address questions in ecology or environmental sciences. Opportunities exist for collaboration with faculty in the areas of aquatic, terrestrial, and evolutionary ecology and other scientific disciplines. . Molecular Cell Biology. Preference will be given to molecular cell biologists working in eukaryotic systems with research interests in areas such as chromatin structure and/or remodeling, regulation of gene expression, and RNA processing. Applicants will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in cell/molecular biology and/or immunology. Competitive start-up packages will be tailored to the specific needs of successful candidates. Teaching responsibilities may include courses at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. Graduate programs include the College of Science and Mathematics' (CoSM) inter-departmental Environmental Sciences Ph.D. program, the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program, which integrates across CoSM and the Boonshoft School of Medicine, the Biological Sciences M.S. program, and the Microbiology and Immunology M.S. program. Resources in support of research include genomics and proteomics facilities, a breadth of microscopy instrumentation (including confocal and DeltaVision microscopes for imaging fixed and living cells), animal care and aquarium facilities, greenhouse, on-campus wooded Biology Preserve and regional natural areas, and numerous area research institutions, including Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Applications from couples who have independent research programs are encouraged to apply. WSU has nearly 17,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and the department graduates approximately 150 students per year. More information on the University, the Department of Biological Sciences and its Graduate Programs, and the open faculty positions can be found at http://www.wright.edu/biology/department/jobopps.html. To be considered for associate professor, candidates must have a record of excellence in scholarship and teaching as defined in the Department of Biological Sciences bylaws (http://www.wright.edu/facstaff/bylaws/biologicalsciences.html). Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, and names and contact information for three references to Chair of the Search Committee, Department of Biological Sciences, Wright State University, Dayton, OH 45435-0001. Electronic applications can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Please indicate the area(s) of specialty for which you are applying. Review of applicants for all positions will begin November 30, 2007, and continue until all positions are filled. Wright State University is an EEOE. ********************************** Don Cipollini, PhD Assoc Professor, Plant Physiology/Chemical Ecology Interim Director, Environmental Sciences PhD Program Wright State University Department of Biological Sciences 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway Dayton, OH 45435 Phone: 937-775-3805 FAX: 937-775-3320 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.wright.edu/~don.cipollini
