The Department of Biology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha invites applications for a full-time assistant professor position to begin August 2007 and to extend through May 2008. Continuation of the position for 2008-2009 is possible depending upon funding. A Ph.D. is preferred but applicants with substantial progress towards a Ph.D. (ABD) will be considered. The successful applicant will teach lectures and laboratories in Biology II (Biol 1750), a course required of biology majors that emphasizes fundamental concepts in biodiversity, evolution, ecology and physiology, especially as these concepts apply to animals. Graduate teaching assistants will be provided to assist with laboratories. The opportunity to teach the Biology II course in summer may also be available beginning in July 2007. The university and department are strongly committed to achieving diversity among faculty and staff. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from members of under-represented groups and strongly encourage women and persons of color to apply.
