The appointee is expected to establish a productive research program at the cellular or molecular level that ideally will integrate with existing faculty interests including: high latitude physiology, neurobiology, endocrinology, or chronobiology. The successful applicant will be expected to teach two courses/year including cell biology and an additional course such as developmental biology or molecular biology, and to supervise graduate students. An earned Ph.D. in biology or related field is mandatory; post-doctoral and teaching experience are preferred. Initial support for graduate student teaching assistants, laboratory space, and start-up funds are included in this appointment which is expected to begin in fall of 1997. Qualified women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Send applications including: statements of research interest, teaching philosophy, curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference by January 15, 1997 to: Dr. Gerald Shields Chair, Cellular/Molecular Search Department of Biology and Wildlife and Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks Fairbanks AK 99775 (907) 474-7656, Fax (907) 474-6967 E-mail: gshields@redback.lter.alaska.edu The University of Alaska Fairbanks is the Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant institution in Alaska.
