well as minors in several subdisciplines. The eight full-time faculty
members in the department have received grant support from NSF, NIH,
NIEHS, 3M, Research Corporation, and other sources. Students and
faculty in biology have been active in study abroad programs,
internships,
and field and laboratory research. We have a full-time laboratory
coordinator who also serves as a laboratory instructor. The College owns
a 60-acre wetland research facility near campus, which provides
numerous opportunities for field study in biology and environmental
science. Departmental equipment holdings include research-grade Zeiss
microscopes, a Perkin Elmer thermocycler, an Olympus inverted tissue
culture microscope, a Perkin Elmer Lambda 2 UV Visible
Spectrophotometer, and refrigerated centrifuges.
Rank and Salary: Assistant professor. Salary is competitive and
