Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Integrative Biology.
We seek candidates who use modern molecular techniques to address questions
that integrate organismal function with environmental and/or developmental
influences. The successful candidate's research will complement that of
existing faculty, enabling fruitful collaboration and mentoring of graduate
students. Opportunities for collaboration include faculty with research
interests that scale from molecules to landscapes. Research support
includes the departmental DNA sequencing facility, and proteomic/genomic
core facilities on campus.
Teaching includes molecular biology, courses in the candidate's area of
expertise, and possible participation in team-taught introductory biology.
The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to establish a
productive and extramurally funded research program and actively train M.S.
and Ph.D. students. Position will begin August 2012. A Ph.D. is required and
postdoctoral experience is preferred.
