Jobs

    Postdoc at the University of Glasgow

    This position is part of a project entitled "Environmental Stressors, Senescence and Lifespan: Does telomere loss provide the link?" funded by an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). The overall aim of the project is to experimentally investigate both the direct and intergenerational effects of environmentally generated stress on telomere dynamics, using the zebra finch.

    The holder of this position will be the main person in charge of running laboratory analyses designed to measure stress responses. The position has become available due to the appointment of the existing postholder to a tenure track position in a US University. The person appointed will be part of a team funded by this ERC grant, and so will work closely with another postdoctoral scientist who will be in charge of the telomere work, and a full time technician and other specialist (data analysis) and support staff who assist with running the experiments and the laboratory assays.

    Visiting Lecturer at Georgia Southern University

    The Department of Biology at Georgia Southern University expects to have several openings for visiting lecturers in the academic year 2013-14. These are 9-month, non-tenure track appointments with benefits beginning August 2013. The positions are renewable given satisfactory performance and continued need.

    Preferred qualifications are a PhD in the biological sciences and some teaching experience. Visiting lecturers in our department teach 15 contact hours per semester. Depending on their expertise, visiting lecturers teach some combination of the following courses: General Biology or Environmental Biology lectures for nonmajors, Biology 1 or 2 lectures or laboratories for majors, or Microbiology. Visiting lecturers occasionally participate in upper-level courses for majors. Summer teaching assignments (paid on a per course basis) are typically available if desired.

    Apply or direct questions to Risa Cohen, Associate Chair (rcohen@georgiasouthern.edu. Applicants should send a letter of interest describing their teaching experience, a CV, and the names and contact information for three references.
