Dear Colleagues, Please pass this announcement on to any current post-doctoral researchers, former students, or other suitable individuals you may know:
The Department of Biological Sciences at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Integrative Physiology and Comparative Physiology starting August 17, 2016. For Integrative Physiology we seek individuals having experience with a broad range of approaches in basic and/or translational physiological research in either model or non-model systems. For Comparative Physiology we seek individuals having experience with a broad range of approaches in the comparative physiology of non-model systems, including vertebrate or invertebrate species. CSULB has a long tradition of training undergraduates and Masters students for careers in science by involving students in productive research and through a commitment to a scholarly approach to pedagogy. We have a diverse student body and our goal is to be a leader in placing students from groups underrepresented in science into research careers. We have a vibrant research community and excellent research facilities. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program involving undergraduate and MS students and teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants must have a PhD and postdoctoral experience. For further information, please see the position descriptions at http://www.csulb.edu/divisions/aa/personnel/jobs/posting/2332/index.html and http://www.csulb.edu/divisions/aa/personnel/jobs/posting/2337/index.html Screening of applications will begin October 15, 2015. CSULB is an Equal Opportunity Employer. CSULB seeks to recruit faculty who enthusiastically support the University’s strong commitment to the academic success of all of our students, including students of color, students with disabilities, students who are first generation to college, veterans, students with diverse socio-economic backgrounds, and students of diverse sexual orientations and gender expressions. CSULB seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to serve the People of California, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students a rich variety of expertise, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning. As evidence of its commitment to supporting the needs of its highly diverse campus, CSULB is pleased to announce that it has just been awarded $22.7 million over five years from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish an innovative research training program to prepare underrepresented students for doctoral programs and biomedical research careers. This initiative, Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD), has the potential to become a national model and secure CSULB's place as a leading biomedical and behavioral research training ground. CSULB is one of 10 BUILD centers nationally that will work together in an NIH Diversity Consortium. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Bryan Rourke, PhD Chair, Physiology Search Committee
