The Biology Department at Stonehill College invites applicants for an assistant professor, tenure-‐track appointment in Evolutionary Biology to begin July 2014. This person would join a department of 10 full-‐time faculty with a wide range of disciplinary expertise and a commitment to fostering diversity among faculty and students.
We seek applicants who are committed to excellence in teaching, advising, and mentoring undergraduates in research, and who have a demonstrated awareness of the importance of diversity in education. We are particularly interested in candidates who approach evolutionary questions with ecological and/or bioinformatics approaches. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) and have postdoctoral research and undergraduate teaching experience. The position involves teaching, advising and directing a productive research program with undergraduates. Primary teaching duties include teaching organismal diversity to first-‐year biology majors, evolution, and an upper-‐level course in the candidate’s area of expertise. Dedicated research space and start-‐up funds for research are available.
