Assistant Professor in Biological Mathematics The College of William and Mary
The Department of Biology at The College of William and Mary invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor in Biological Mathematics beginning Fall, 2011. The successful candidate will develop a productive, externally funded research program in biological mathematics, broadly construed, that includes collaborations with both faculty and students in the Department of Biology and, potentially, the Program in Neuroscience. Collaboration with faculty in the Departments of Applied Science and Mathematics is also encouraged. Typical teaching duties will be one course per semester; the successful candidate will develop and teach a sophomore level course in mathematical biology suitable for Biology majors and an advanced course that incorporates student research projects. In addition, the successful candidate will help to develop quantitative elements for introductory and advanced Biology courses in collaboration with the instructors of such courses. The assignment to teach a particular course might be substituted partially or entirely by collaborative work with other faculty members to develop and integrate biological mathematics into courses from the introductory to advanced level. An interest in and ability to teach biostatistics is preferred, but this need not be the research focus of the successful candidate. A Ph.D. is required and postdoctoral experience is desirable. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a statement of current and future research interests, and a statement of teaching interests and experience and should be submitted electronically as a single PDF to http://jobs.wm.edu. The system will also prompt you for the names and emails of a minimum of three referees familiar with your research and/or teaching who will be asked to provide a reference letter. Questions should be addressed to Margaret Saha ([email protected]). Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2010 and will continue until an appointment is made. The College of William and Mary is an EEO/AA Employer and is committed to improving diversity.
