Head, Department of Microbiology and Immunology
Queen¹s University
Queen¹s University at Kingston, Ontario invites applications and
nominations for the position of Head of the Department of Microbiology
and
Immunology.
We are searching for an outstanding academic with strong leadership
skills and proven administrative experience who, as Head, will foster
excellence in
teaching while strongly supporting the development of research within
the Department. The successful candidate will have a relevant PhD or MD.
In
addition to having achieved international recognition in research and
scholarship, he or she will have a record of professional
accomplishments in
teaching and a commitment to medical, undergraduate and graduate
education.
The Department of Microbiology and Immunology occupies 20,000 square
feet of laboratory space in the University¹s health sciences building.
Faculty
members have active research programs primarily in the area of molecular
and cellular interactions that occur between microbes and their hosts.
These
programs are supported by a variety of nationally recognized funding
agencies.
Kingston, which is situated on the shore of Lake Ontario, is only a few
hours drive from Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. While offering extensive
cultural amenities, the city still retains many of the advantages
associated with living in a smaller community.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be considered first for
this position. Queen¹s University is committed to employment equity and
welcomes applications from all qualified women and men, including
visible minorities, aboriginal people, persons with disabilities, gay
men and
lesbians.
Nominations and letters of application, in the latter case accompanied
by a curriculum vitae and names of three referees, should be directed by
no later
than February 28, 2001 to:
