Dear Colleagues,
The Biology Department at Colorado State University is inviting
applications for a tenure-track position in Algal Biology. I attached
below the job description. If you know of any candidates interested
in this position please bring this to their attention. Thank you
very much for your help. Reddy
ALGAL BIOLOGIST
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, TENURE-TRACK
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY
POSITION: The Biology Department is recruiting a Eukaryotic Algal
Biologist at the rank of Assistant Professor, as part of an expansion
of bioenergy research and teaching at CSU. We seek a broadly trained
individual who uses genetic, molecular, biochemical and cell
biological approaches to study algal biological processes that are
relevant to biofuel development. Example areas of emphasis include
energy transduction pathways (photosynthesis and respiration), carbon
metabolism (including but not limited to oil production), growth or
biomass. The successful candidate will use innovative tools and
approaches in, for example, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics,
systems biology and/or synthetic biology to address biofuel-related
fundamental research questions in algal biology. The incumbent is
expected to interact closely with several successful bioenergy
programs in education, research, and technology transfer at CSU
(http://bioenergy.colostate.edu/) including an NSF IGERT Ph.D.
program, the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Center, the Clean Energy
Supercluster, and the industry-sponsored Colorado Center for Biofuels
and Biorefining. In addition, this individual will have
opportunities to interact with faculty in other campus-wide
interdisciplinary programs such as the Program in Molecular Plant
Biology (http://plant.biology.colostate.edu/), and the Graduate
Degree Program in Cell and Molecular Biology
(http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/CMB/). For more information about CSU
in general and the Biology Department in particular, please visit the
Biology Department website: http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/Biology/.
RESPONSIBILITIES: The successful candidate will develop an active
extramurally funded and innovative research program. This
tenure-track position involves undergraduate and graduate teaching
(approximately 45 percent), research involving undergraduates and
graduate students (approximately 45 percent), and service/outreach
(approximately 10 percent). Teaching may include courses in
phycology, plant biochemistry and plant metabolism.
QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in algal biology, plant biology or a related
field. Research expertise in algal biology with publications in
peer-reviewed journals is required. Postdoctoral research experience
is preferred.
SALARY: Commensurate with education and experience at the rank of
Assistant Professor.
POSITION AVAILABLE: August 15, 2011
To receive full consideration, apply on-line at
(http://www.natsci.colostate.edu/employment/biology/) by November 29,
2010. Include a cover letter, C.V., statements of research & teaching
interests, and up to three representative publications. Applicants
should arrange for on-line submission of three reference letters at
(http://www.natsci.colostate.edu/employment/biology/) by the target
date. The position will remain open until filled. All application
materials of semi-finalists will be made available to all faculty in
the Department of Biology.
