Two faculty positions in Integrative Biology at the University of
Cincinnati
The Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cincinnati, will
fill two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Integrative
Biology studying: (1) ANIMAL DEVELOPMENT at genetic or cellular
levels, and addressing questions of broad interest, e.g., evolution
or gene-environment interactions, and (2) effects of ENVIRONMENTAL
STRESS from natural or human-induced causes on processes at cellular,
population or community levels in plants, microbes, or animals.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and have postdoctoral experience.
Successful candidates will build an outstanding, externally-funded
research program, and contribute to undergraduate and graduate
teaching. Individuals complementing existing strengths in behavior,
neuroscience or evolutionary biology in the department
(http://bioweb.ad.uc.edu) are encouraged to apply. Apply online at
https://www.jobsatuc.com (Position Numbers 28UC2634, 28UC2635) by
submitting cover letter, curriculum vita, and statements of research
interests and teaching philosophy. Send three letters of
recommendation and three representative reprints separately (PDF
preferred) to: wischer at ucmail.uc.edu. Review of applications will
begin November 30, 2008. The University of Cincinnati is an
affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities,
disabled persons, and Vietnam Era and disabled veterans are

Assistant Professor - Biologist
The Department of Biology at The University of Mississippi
invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position.
We seek a biologist investigating processes at any scale from cells
to whole organisms. The successful candidate will be expected to
establish an active, externally funded research program in areas that
complement and/or build upon existing departmental strengths.
Examples of research areas of interest include but are not limited
to: intra- or intercellular processes (e.g., signal transduction,
protein trafficking/dynamics) or physiological processes (e.g.,
immune response, role of hormones in regulating cells or behavior).
The candidate will also be expected to teach classes at the
undergraduate and graduate level. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in
Biology or a related field.
The Department of Biology consists of 17 faculty and educates
641 undergraduate biology majors and 30 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 on the
department is available at 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.
To apply, please visit our Online Employment Service at
jobs.olemiss.edu. Applications should include: (1) cover letter
outlining your interest and suitability for the position, (2)
curriculum vitae, (3) 1-page statement of teaching experience and
interests, including a list of potential graduate and undergraduate
courses, (4) a statement of research interests that includes an
explicit description of how the applicant's research will complement
or build upon existing departmental research areas, (5) names and
contact information for three references. Review of applications will
begin immediately and continue until the position is filled or an
adequate applicant pool is established.
