replacement for Spring semester 2000 to offer Neurobiology (with
laboratory), and a part-time sabbatical replacement to teach Neuroethology.
Neurobiology (Biology 178) is a lecture, discussion, and lab course
that
involves three contact hours per week of lecture/discussion and two
scheduled laboratory sections at four hours each. The lecture part
of the
course emphasizes cell and molecular approaches and covers the ionic
basis
of electrical signaling, the physiology and biochemistry of synaptic
transmission, sensory and motor systems, and additional topics in
neurobiology. The lab part of the course reinforces concepts presented
in
the classroom using electrophysiological and/or cell and molecular
techniques. Neuroethology (Neuroscience 102) is a lecture and discussion
course which examines how the nervous and endocrine systems are designed
to
permit discrimination, localization, and recognition of biological
signals
and the organization of a response to them. This course has three contact
hours per week plus weekly discussion meetings with small groups of
students. The candidate will also mentor senior theses. Pomona College
is
a small, highly selective, liberal arts college with a tradition of
small
classes and a high degree of student-faculty interaction in both learning
and research. We strongly encourage applications from members of groups
under-represented in the sciences. Send curriculum vitae, statement
