The Biology Department at the University of Illinois Springfield
(UIS) invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the
Assistant Professor level, beginning August 2013. Qualifications: a
Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Developmental Biology, or
related discipline from an accredited US university. This is
primarily a teaching position and the primary responsibility of the
successful candidate will involve teaching courses in cell biology
and advanced cell biology, as well as courses in the candidate's area
of expertise. In addition to demonstrating strong potential for
outstanding teaching, the successful candidate will be expected to
maintain an active research program that involves both graduate
(M.S.) and undergraduate students. Research specialization is open
but preference will be given to candidates working with non-mammalian
systems. Applicants with postdoctoral research and college teaching
experience, as well as a record of publications are preferred. The
selected candidate will also help advise and provide research
opportunities for pre-professional students (e.g., pre-med, pre-vet,
pre-dental), and will provide support to the delivery of a Pre-med minor.
The successful candidate will be provided with laboratory facilities,
start-up funds, and a salary commensurate with experience. More
