From owner-celegans@net.bio.net Tue Apr 07 23:00:00 1998 Path: biosci!biosci!not-for-mail From: Simon Tuck Newsgroups: bionet.celegans Subject: Faculty position in Sweden Date: 8 Apr 1998 10:44:21 -0700 Organization: UMDAC Lines: 35 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Approved: wmorgan@acs.wooster.edu Distribution: world Message-ID: <6ggd1l$bfv@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net The following advertisment, which is about to appear in Nature, may be of interest to C. elegans biologists presently seeking a faculty position. "The Developmental Biology Program of the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research seeks to appoint 2 senior scientists (group leaders) in the area of non-mammalian Developmental Biology. All areas of research of non-mammalian Developmental Biology will be considered (e.g. zebrafish, chick, Xenopus, Drosophila, C. elegans). The successful candidates will each be given 1.6 million SEK/year for five years. This amount is sufficient to enable him/her to form a group consisting of, for example, a postdoc, a PhD student and a technician. Starting salary will be commensurate with experience. The successful candidates will be able to choose to work within the University in Sweden that best suits the candidate's research interests. They will also be encouraged to apply for grants from all Swedish Grant Foundations. Candidates should have a PhD and/or MD degree, at least two years of postdoctoral experience and a proven record of high quality research. Candidates are expected to develop strong, independent research programs. Applications, containing a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, copies of relevent publications, and three recommendation letters (or names and addresses of referees) should be sent to Dr. Urban Lendahl at the address below not later than April 15th. Urban Lendahl CMB, Utvecklingsbiologi, Karolinska Institut, S-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden. Tel. +46 8 7287323. Fax. +46 8 348135." I would be happy to give information to those interested about what it is like to be a worm biologist in Sweden. Simon Tuck .
