ZEBRAFISH DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY
University of Massachusetts Amherst

Applicants are invited for a tenure-track ASSISTANT 
PROFESSORSHIP in the Department of Biology (website: 
http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology). 

We are particularly interested in creative researchers who use the 
zebrafish as a model system to study basic problems in a variety 
of areas including development, neurobiology, cell differentiation, 
and/or signaling. The appointee will join an active zebrafish group 
that includes Dr. Rolf Karlstrom, who studies patterning and axon 
guidance in the zebrafish forebrain. 

We have an excellent zebrafish facility that will be expanded to 
accommodate the new position. 

Candidates are expected to develop a vigorous, funded research 
program and be committed to graduate and undergraduate 
education. A Ph.D. and postdoctoral experience are required. 

To apply, send curriculum vitae, statement of research interests 
and teaching philosophy, and arrange for three letters of
