The Biology Department at Seattle University seeks candidates for three tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor. These new faculty members will play a key role in the development of two new degree programs in Cell & Molecular Biology and in Marine & Conservation Biology.

The Cell/Molecular Biologist will develop and instruct the protein methods portion of a biotechnology course and an upper division research course.

The Marine Biologist and the Conservation or Evolutionary Biologist will be expected to develop and instruct upper division courses related to their area of expertise. In addition, the new faculty members will contribute to the teaching of lower division courses in Biology. The new faculty members will also be expected to develop active research programs involving undergraduates and serve as academic advisors to Biology majors. Persons with interdisciplinary interests that will enhance relationships with local biotechnology, biomedical or environmental research organizations are strongly encouraged to apply.
