The Department of Biology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst
is seeking to fill three tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant
professor level.

One position is in the area of Plant Metabolism. We are seeking a
researcher who uses systems biology and/or functional genomic approaches
to understanding plant metabolism. The area of research should be
relevant to the use of plants for bioenergy, for example, carbon
metabolism or biopolymer production by plants

The researchers would be expected to participate in a broad
multi-disciplinary initiative in Global Change Biology within the
Department of Biology. This initiative bridges a group of faculty who
use multiple levels of analysis to understand how rapid environmental
changes are impacting populations and individual organisms, including:
loss of biodiversity, rapid evolution, disruption of physiology, reduced
agricultural outputs, and evolution of new pathogens. Postdoctoral
experience required

Applications, which should include CV, statements of research interest
and teaching philosophy, and the names, addresses and e-mails of at
least 3 references, should be sent to: Biology Search c/o Ms. Karen
Nelson, Biology Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA
01003. It is very important that you reference the position number to
which you are applying. Positions to be filled contingent upon funding.
The position numbers are as follows: * Ecological Physiology R32351 *
Endocrine Disruption R32352 * Plant Metabolism R32353. Evaluation of
applications will begin on December 10, 2007 and continue until the
positions are filled


The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action Equal
Opportunity Employer
Women and members of minority groups are encouraged to apply. The
Biology Department
is aggressive in its efforts to hire candidates who will enhance the
diversity and general
balance of the faculty and the sciences.
