Two Assistant Professor Positions in Genetics
The Department of Biology at the University of Mississippi invites
applications for two Assistant Professor positions (tenure-track) in
genetics. The appointments require a Ph.D. in a biological science.
The incumbents will be expected to establish extramurally funded
research programs involving graduate and undergraduate training. Both
will be expected to teach an introductory genetics course, as well as
courses in their area of specialization. The opportunity also exists
to be involved with our freshman biology program and with upper
division core courses.
Position 1 - Molecular Geneticist. We seek a biologist investigating
molecular genetic processes using animal, plant, or microbial model
systems.
Position 2 - Population Geneticist. We seek a biologist with strong
quantitative skills, who uses contemporary techniques in the study of
population genetics. This person will also be expected to teach
population genetics.
The Department of Biology consists of 16 faculty and educates 800
undergraduate biology majors and 37 graduate students (M.S. and
Ph.D.). Current departmental interests span all levels of
organization from the cell to the ecosystem. Recent hires include
faculty in the areas of cell physiology, conservation biology,
evolutionary genetics and phylogeography, microbial ecology,
neurobiology, and symbiotic systems. More detailed information
concerning the department is available at
<http://olemiss.edu/depts/biology>http://olemiss.edu/depts/biology.
The University of Mississippi is located in Oxford, Mississippi, one
of the top college towns in the U.S., and a community known for
outstanding educational and cultural opportunities. Recently, the
University was rated a
"<http://chronicle.com/section/Great-Colleges/156>best college to
