[Janet Morrison]

<>TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS --
Plant Development/Physiology, Integrative Physiology, Aquatic Biology. <>

The Department of Biology at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) invites 
applications for three tenure-track faculty positions, starting August 
2007. Appointments are expected at the Assistant Professor level. 
Teaching and research are mutually supportive activities at TCNJ. 
Candidates should be strongly committed to the teacher-scholar model in 
a primarily undergraduate, residential institution and to maintaining 
both high quality teaching and an active and productive research program 
involving highly motivated undergraduates. A research laboratory in our 
new Biology building and competitive start-up funds will be provided. 
Faculty members also serve as academic advisors and have service 
responsibilities within the College. For all three positions we seek 
broadly trained biologists, who also have potential to contribute to 
interdisciplinary curricular and scholarly efforts at the College. In 
addition to the courses listed below, teaching responsibilities may 
include rotation through a mixed majors/non-majors introductory course.

(1) *Plant* *Development or Plant Physiology – *to teach a general 
botany course, an upper-level plant biology course in the applicant’s 
area of expertise, and one of our core courses. We are especially 
interested in candidates whose research addresses developmental or 
physiological questions and who have broad training in plant biology.

<>(2) *Integrative Physiology –* to develop and teach a junior/senior 
level course examining the physiological function of animals from the 
molecular to organ system levels, an upper‑level course in area of 
specialty, and one of our core courses. The candidate will not be 
expected to teach courses in human anatomy and physiology. Research in 
any area of animal physiology will be considered. <>

(3)* Aquatic Biology – *to teach an upper-level course in the 
applicant’s area of expertise, an organismal biology course, and a 
course in the core curriculum. Research area in aquatic biology is open; 
we are especially interested in candidates with expertise in 
invertebrate biology. <>

The College of New Jersey is a highly selective, comprehensive 
institution with 5,800 undergraduate students, and one of only five 
public institutions included on Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges 
list of the 75 “most competitive” colleges and universities in the 
United States. Our location on a 289-acre, tree-lined campus in the 
greater Princeton area provides excellent opportunities to interface 
with other academic institutions. The Department of Biology is housed in 
a newly constructed building with excellent facilities and 
instrumentation for teaching and research.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. and post-doctoral experience is 
preferred. For further information about The College, please visit our
