at the
ASSOCIATE or FULL PROFESSOR rank may be considered if they have a
demonstrated record of mentoring students in under-represented groups
(woman and students of color).  Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree
at the start of the appointment.  The position requires teaching a
graduate course in a field of specialization, and undergraduate
courses in plant organismal biology. Applicants should submit their

selected pursuant to this process, an application for Alien 
Employment Certification may be filed on behalf of an alien to 
fill the job opportunity. The University of Washington is 
building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages
