The Department of Biological Sciences invites applications from broadly trained microbiologists whose research interests are in areas such as biogeochemistry, bioremediation, diversity, soil or aquatic microbial habitats, or symbiosis. Preference will be given to research topics which are mechanistic rather than descriptive. Teaching responsibilities include a commitment to share responsibility for general microbiology, and contribution to upper-division and graduate courses. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. A competitive startup package and modern laboratory space will be provided.
Position is contingent upon funding.
