Assistant Professor of Evolutionary Biology
The Biology Department at Stonehill College invites applicants for an assistant
professor, tenure-‐track appointment in Evolutionary Biology to begin July
2014. This person would join a department of 10 full-‐time faculty with a
wide range of disciplinary expertise and a commitment to fostering diversity
among faculty and students.
We seek applicants who are committed to excellence in teaching, advising, and
mentoring undergraduates in research, and who have a demonstrated awareness of
the importance of diversity in education. We are particularly interested in
candidates who approach evolutionary questions with ecological and/or
bioinformatics approaches. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) and
have postdoctoral research and undergraduate teaching experience. The position
involves teaching, advising and directing a productive research program with
undergraduates. Primary teaching duties include teaching organismal diversity
to first-‐year biology majors, evolution, and an upper-‐level course in the
candidate’s area of expertise. Dedicated research space and start-‐up funds
for research are available.

When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe in one of two
things:
there will be earth upon which to stand, or you will be given wings.
~Richard Bach
There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the
one you are
capable of living. ~Nelson Mandela
I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more about the world today than I
did
yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far
that gets you.
~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
