POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of

possible assignment to introductory botany or zoology for biology majors;
typical teaching load is some combination of two of these courses per
semester. In addition, the candidate is expected to establish a research
program compatible with the facilities available at UW-Whitewater, and
which can involve undergraduates. Grant-writing to secure extramural
funding for research is expected.

A Ph.D. must be completed by starting date. The successful candidate will
have expertise in aquatic systems at the ecosystem or community level,

significant extramural funding.
