Tenure-Track Position in Biology (Microbiology) The W.M. Keck Science Department of Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College and Scripps College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in Microbiology at the Assistant Professor level to begin July 2018. The department, which houses faculty in biology, neuroscience, chemistry, physics, and environmental analysis for three of the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges, offers innovative and interdisciplinary programs in the natural and physical sciences. Many faculty members participate in collaborative research projects, both within the department and with research groups at nearby colleges and universities. We seek a broadly trained microbiologist who is committed to excellence in teaching and who will develop a vibrant research program using molecular and quantitative methods that fully engages undergraduate students. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in a range of experimental molecular microbiology subtopics including but not exclusive to bacterial physiology and metabolism; bacterial cell biology; gene expression and regulation; cell-cell communication; and host-microbe interactions. The position offers opportunities to teach a combination of courses including microbiology with laboratory, introductory biology (cell and molecular focus), non-majors courses and advanced courses in the candidate’s field. A Ph.D. degree, post-doctoral experience, and a record of scholarly publication are required. Please apply online at https://webapps.cmc.edu/jobs/faculty/faculty_opening_detail.php?PostingID=16023 . Please upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, a statement (of no more than 1 page) describing your approach and experience in mentoring diverse student populations, a description of your proposed research and including a brief description of important equipment and biosafety needs, and the names and e-mail addresses of three references. Enquiries may be addressed to Dr. Patrick Ferree at pfer...@kecksci.claremont.edu<mailto:pfer...@kecksci.claremont.edu>.

Review of applications will begin October 23, 2017, and the position will remain open until filled. Tenure-Track Position in Biology (Ecology/Evolutionary Biology of Disease) The W.M Keck Science Department of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer and Scripps Colleges invites applications for a tenure-track position in the ecology/evolutionary biology of disease at the Assistant Professor level, to begin July 2018. The department houses the biology, chemistry, physics and environmental science faculty for three of the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges, and offers innovative and interdisciplinary programs in both natural and physical sciences. Many of our faculty participate in collaborative research projects, both within the department and with research groups at nearby institutions. Candidates must be committed to excellence in teaching and development of a vibrant research program that engages undergraduate students. We especially seek candidates whose work on disease is cross-disciplinary within the sciences and speaks to students with diverse interests, including the environment and human health. Of particular interest are candidates who could offer courses on the mathematical modeling, ecology and/or evolution of infectious disease, disease and the environment, and/or emerging diseases. Teaching opportunities will include introductory courses in a core discipline (biology or environmental science), as well as courses in the candidate’s area of expertise. A Ph.D., postdoctoral experience and a record of scholarly publication are required. Please apply online at https://webapps.cmc.edu/jobs/faculty/faculty_opening_detail.php?PostingID=16024. Upload a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of your proposed approach to teaching science in a liberal arts setting, a statement (of no more than 1 page) describing your approach and experience in mentoring diverse student populations, a description of your proposed research, and the names and email addresses of three references. Inquiries regarding the position may be emailed to Professor Diane Thomson at dthom...@kecksci.claremont.edu.<mailto:dthom...@kecksci.claremont.edu.> Additional information about the department may be found at www.kecksci.claremont.edu.<http://www.kecksci.claremont.edu/> Review of applications will begin October 1, 2017, and the position will remain open until filled. ------------------------------------- Sarah Gilman Associate Professor Biology W.M.
