OPEN FACULTY POSITION FOR 1996-97 ACADEMIC YEAR
PLANT ECOLOGY/EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY: Franklin and Marshall College seeks to
hire a visiting assistant professor to fill a vacancy for the coming
academic year. Although the appointment will be for one year, we will be
initiating a wider search in the fall to fill this tenure-track position on
a continuing basis; the successful one-year appointee will be eligible to
be among the applicants for the continuing position.
Teaching assignments for the coming year will be: For the Fall, an
upper-level undergraduate elective course in Plant Ecology, with
laboratory; and for the Spring, lecture and laboratories in the
department's introductory core course in Heredity, Evolution and Ecology.
Other staff also will be teaching lecture and lab sections of this core
course. The successful applicant should expect to be assigned a lecture
section and two or three laboratory sections in the spring semester.
This position has in the past required a commitment to research with
advanced undergraduates, and involvement with the college's
interdisciplinary environmental studies program has been desirable. For
the one-year appointee, such activities would not be required but would be
welcomed.

arts college of approximately 1900 students located in southeastern
