Faculty Positions in Biotic and Abiotic Stress
The Plant Sciences Institute at Iowa State University invites
applications for four faculty positions to conduct fundamental
research at the genetic, molecular, and/or biochemical levels on how
plants sense and/or respond to biotic or abiotic stresses. These
represent the first of an anticipated 25 new hires that are part of a
multimillion dollar initiative in the plant sciences at Iowa State
University. Positions are available at all academic ranks and are
tenured or tenure-track with generous start-up packages. Successful
candidates will be expected to develop energetic, internationally
recognized, extramurally funded research programs, effectively train
graduate students and participate in teaching programs at the
graduate and/or undergraduate levels. Departmental and college
affiliations will be determined in consultation with the candidate at
the time of hire. To apply, submit a letter of application,
curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests,
recent reprints, and the names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and
telephone numbers of at least three references to: Dr. Charlotte R.
Bronson, Interim Director, Center for Plant Responses to
Environmental Stresses, Iowa State University, 351 Bessey Hall, Ames,
Iowa 50011-1020; e-mail: plantstress at iastate.edu. Applicants for
assistant professor positions should arrange for letters of reference
to be sent.
Review of applications will begin on December 15, 1999, and continue
until the positions are filled. Iowa State University is an equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer and encourages applications
from women and minorities. (http://www.plantsciences.iastate.edu)
