Faculty Positions in Boston

[Donald O'Malley]

Dear Colleagues,

     Northeastern University has open two tenure-track
faculty positions (in ECOLOGY and BIOINFORMATICS).
Researchers working in this area that also use zebrafish
as a model organism would be joining a department with
strong interests in multiple aspects of zebrafish biology.
These positions are not, however, limited to zebrafish 
researchers, as investigators working in any area described
in the ads below will be given full consideration.

The following two ads recently appeared in Science:
