Visiting Position in Genetics/Genomics at Reed College The Biology Department at Reed College invites applications for a two-year visiting faculty member in Genetics and/or Genomics. We seek candidates with demonstrated excellence in biological research related to genetics or genomics, for example but not limited to molecular biology, bioinformatics, population or evolutionary genetics, epigenetics, or synthetic biology. Qualifications include a PhD and postdoctoral experience.
Reed is a distinguished liberal arts college with ~1400 students that offers a demanding academic program to bright and dedicated undergraduates (http://academics.reed.edu/). In addition to advising senior theses for Biology and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology majors, teaching duties will include an upper level lecture/laboratory course in genetics (for examples of current offerings, see the Reed course catalog: https://www.reed.edu/registrar/registration_info.html) and an advanced course in the candidate's area of expertise. Formal teaching experience at the college level will be viewed favorably but is not required. Reed biology faculty maintain active, rigorous research programs involving undergraduate students. The successful candidate will be provided lab space and resources to facilitate continued research, thus applicants demonstrating an ability to involve undergraduates in their research program are preferred. The Reed community believes that cultural diversity is essential to the excellence of our academic program. Applicants are invited to address how their teaching, scholarship, mentoring, community service, or other activities could support Reed's commitment to diversity and inclusion in their application materials (see http://www.reed.edu/diversity/). Application materials include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement (two page maximum length), and 3 representative publications. In addition, applicants should provide contact information for three references. All materials should be submitted through Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/40102 by February 17, 2017 for full consideration. An equal opportunity employer, Reed College encourages applications from members of underrepresented groups.
