The Department of Plant and Soil Sciences and the DBI invite
applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the ASSISTANT
or ASSOCIATE professor levels. The successful candidates will be
expected to develop a vigorous extramurally funded research program
in an area of contemporary plant biology with a high potential for
unique fundamental discoveries, and participate in teaching.
Candidates whose research would be maximally enhanced by the
interactions within a new multidisciplinary institute are
particularly encouraged to apply, as are those interested in
exploring systems approaches to biological problems and/or the
collaborative application of basic research for crop improvement. The
University of Delaware is committed to building a world-class
research and education program in plant biology through the combined
efforts of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, the Delaware
Biotechnology Institute (DBI), and other units on campus.
DBI-associated faculty hold appointments at the University of
Delaware in one or more of the following units: Plant and Soil
Sciences, Marine Studies, Animal and Food Sciences, Chemical
Engineering, Computer and Information Sciences, Biological Sciences,
Chemistry and Biochemistry, Business and Economics, Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, and
Mechanical Engineering. For more information on the DBI and its
faculty, see (http://www.dbi.udel.edu). Competitive salary/start up
packages, newly built modern lab space, and state-of-the art
facilities for microarray/gene chip analysis, proteomics, bioimaging
and computational biology are available. Candidates must have a
Ph.D., postdoctoral training, and a demonstrated excellence in
innovative research at the molecular level. Applicants should forward
a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests and future
plans, and have three reference letters sent to: Pamela J. Green,
Chair, Plant Biology Search, c/o Amy Broadhurst, Department of Plant
and Soil Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716-1301. The
review of applications will begin December 1, 2001 and continue until
suitable candidates are identified. The curriculum vitae and letters
of reference shall be shared with departmental faculty.
