If your are planning to interview at the Annual Meeting, please submit your position description or resume prior to the meeting by filling out our employer or candidate forms which are available through the Biophysical Society Internet Services: WWW URL: http://biosci.umn.edu/biophys/employ.html or www.faseb.org > member societies > biophysical society > employment Gopher: biosci.cbs.umn.edu, port 70 -->CBS Departments-->Biophysical Journal-->Employment or Gopher: FASEB --> Societies --> Biophysical Society --> Biophysical Journal --> Employment Answering "Yes" to the question on the candidate or employer forms concerning interviewing at the meeting will automatically pre-register you for the Placement Service. Preregistered employers only have to receive a number on site, while preregistered candidates have to fill out an additional card. The more people who preregister, the more efficient the entire process will be. Internet posting for employers and candidates is FREE. the Placement Service is also FREE to ALL EMPLOYERS and MEMBER CANDIDATES. Non-Member Candiates will pay a $30 charge. We hope that you find this system useful and easy to use. If you have questions or would like assistance, please contact Robert H.
