[Lara Hutson]

ESSEL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW IN NEUROSCIENCE NEUROSCIENCE PROGRAM  

For the past twelve years, the Neuroscience Program at Williams 
College has been the recipient of an Essel Foundation grant to 
encourage talented undergraduate students to pursue careers in 
neuroscience. An integral part of the grant is the Essel Postdoctoral 
Research Fellowship. The Essel Fellow has responsibility for teaching 
the laboratory portion of our Introduction to Neuroscience course 
each fall. The remainder of the Fellow's time is reserved for their 
own research under the mentorship of one of the six neuroscientists 
at Williams College 
(http://www.williams.edu/Neuroscience/faculty.shtml. Also see 
http://www.williams.edu/biology/lhutson). Research funds are 
available.  

The position is ideally suited for a neuroscientist who would like 
more teaching experience. In the past, Fellows have all gone on from 
this position to tenure-track positions. Candidates must have a 
recent Ph.D. in neuroscience or a related field. This is a full-time, 
one-year term position beginning on July 01, 2004 and renewable for 
up to four additional years. The review of resumes will begin on 
February 27, 2004, and continue until the position is filled.
