Tenure-Track Positions
Department of Biological Sciences

SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY, Dedman College, Dallas 
TX The Department of Biological Sciences is moving into the new, 
state-of-the-art sciences building in Dedman College in 2002.  
During the next three years, five new scientists will be hired whose 
research complements an already strong molecular biology 
program.  Two of the five positions are available beginning fall 2002. 
 We hope to make at least two of the five appointments at the 
senior (associate or full professor) level.  Whether junior or senior, 
all successful candidates must have a solid commitment to 
teaching and a strong record of research accomplishments in 
areas that utilize molecular/biochemical/cellular approaches.  
Additionally, candidates will be expected to develop vigorous, 
externally funded research programs in their chosen fields.  
Competitive start-up funds and salaries will be offered. Candidates 
should forward curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research 
plans, and three letters of recommendation to: Dr. Larry Ruben, 
Chair, Department of Biological Sciences, Southern Methodist 
University, Dallas, TX 75275.   The two positions recruited this year 
begin fall semester 2002. The committee will begin its review of the 
applications on or about December 1, 2001.  To ensure full 
consideration for the positions, the applications must be 
postmarked on or before December 1, 2001, but the committee will 
continue to accept applications until the positions are filled.  The 
committee will notify applicants of its employment decisions after 
the positions are filled.  SMU will not discriminate on the basis of 
race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, or veteran 
status. SMU also is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis 
of sexual orientation.
