**** The Department of Biology at the College of William and Mary seeks applications for a one year (which could be extended to two years) Visiting Assistant Professor postdoctoral position in biomathematics. The candidate should be trained in modeling approaches to population ecology and evolution and exhibit a sincere commitment to undergraduate education and research. Specifically, the biomath postdoc will mentor undergraduates in quantitative and modeling projects, related to population ecology and evolution, and collaborate with faculty in the biology, mathematics, and applied science departments on new and existing research projects. The postdoc will also help develop lab activities associated with an introductory biomathematical modeling class. Therefore, some experience of empirical systems is strongly desired. More information about ongoing projects can be found on the faculty research pages of the Biology (www.wm.edu/biology), Mathematics (http://www.wm.edu/mathematics/index.php), and Applied Science departments (www.as.wm.edu). Informal enquiries and requests for more information should be directed to Dan Cristol ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or John Swaddle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the Biology department. Review begins April 10, 2008 and will continue until an appointment is made. Submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, statements of research plans and teaching philosophy, and contact information for three references to Dan Cristol, Biomathematics Search, Department of Biology, The College of William and Mary, P.O. Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795, or by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electronic applications are encouraged. The College is an EEO/AA employer.
