biology at CUNY includes: biotechnology, metabolic engineering of 
plant biosynthetic pathways, natural product biochemistry, medicinal 
plants and economic botany, signal transduction, plant-microbial 
interactions, in vitro production of plant natural products, plant 
development, cell biology, ecology, biodiversity and systematics. 
Successful candidates will be expected to establish and/or sustain 
active, independent programs of extramurally funded research in 
designated areas; teach at both the undergraduate and graduate 
levels; publish in peer-reviewed scientific literature; advise 
students; serve on college and university committees and participate 
in the life of the college. Qualifications: Ph.D in appropriate area, 
demonstrated commitment to teaching and research. Postdoctoral and 
teaching experience as well as demonstrated ability to publish in 
peer-reviewed journals and obtain extramural funding preferred. 
Appointment rank and starting salary commensurate with qualifications 
and experience; anticipated start date, September 2, 2002.
