The Agnes Scott College Biology Department invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor in ecology and related areas, to
begin August of 2016. A strong commitment to both undergraduate
teaching and research is expected. The ideal candidate should be
prepared to conduct and publish original research and incorporate
undergraduates into his or her research program. The 3/2 teaching
load includes introductory biology, a senior seminar course, courses
in areas of specialty, and contribution to the college global
learning or leadership objectives. A Ph.D. is required by August of
2016, but post-doctoral experience is desired. The successful
candidate will possess teaching experience, research publications,
and a commitment to work with a socially and economically diverse
student population.
Interested applicants should e-mail their curriculum vita, teaching
and research statements, and three letters of recommendation to:
Prof. Karen J. Thompson, Chair, Department of Biology,

evaluations will be solicited from selected candidates later in the
hiring process. Review of applications will begin on October 1, 2015.
In addition to the biology major program, the biology department
contributes to neuroscience and molecular biology and biochemistry BS
programs as well as to environmental and sustainability studies and
public health programs. The biology faculty benefit from excellent
laboratory space on campus in a building dedicated to the sciences,
and the opportunity to work with other biologists in the Atlanta
area. Agnes Scott College is a highly selective, independent national
liberal arts college for women located in metropolitan Atlanta, a
cosmopolitan and ethnically diverse region with a vibrant cultural
life. The college is committed to providing its faculty with a
supportive academic environment that includes a balance of teaching,
research, and service. Excellence in undergraduate teaching, the
establishment of an effective and sustainable research program, and
service to the department and the college are necessary for tenure
and promotion. Support for faculty development includes travel
funding, a one-semester research leave at full pay after successful
completion of the third-year review, a post-tenure sabbatical
program, and the opportunity to apply for many internal professional
development awards. Agnes Scott College has a strong commitment to
diversity. The College urges members of underrepresented groups to
apply. EOE. <http://www.agnesscott.edu>www.agnesscott.edu
