The Wesleyan Biology Department is seeking to fill a tenure-track position beginning July 1, 2015. We seek an individual who uses genomic approaches to address core questions of biological function. The individual will integrate approaches such as developmental or comparative genomics, systems modeling, or other complementing analyses to study cellular and tissue mechanisms in the context of the organism. The individual will contribute to existing department areas of strength in cell/development, neuroscience, or evolution/ecology. Wesleyan is a selective liberal-arts university in which a research-active faculty provides exceptional undergraduate teaching as well as graduate training.
