The Department of Biological Sciences at UMBC invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in eukaryotic cell biology, especially as it relates to neurobiology, to complement existing departmental strengths in neuroscience and cell and developmental biology, and to interact with faculty whose interests range from genomics and molecular genetics to ecology, evolution, and behavior. The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in a relevant field of biological sciences, post-doctoral experience and a strong publication record and is expected to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program, supervise doctoral-level graduate students, and teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, summary of current research and future plans, and a statement of teaching interests and philosophy to biosearch@umbc.edu in a single PDF in the above order. The applicant should also arrange to have three letters of reference in PDF format, sent to biosearch@umbc.edu. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by November 15, 2012 but will be accepted until the position is filled.
UMBC is a medium-sized research university in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. area, whose combined excellence in research and outstanding educational programs have earned recognition by US News and World Report as the "#1 Up-and-Coming National University” for four years running. For information about the Department of Biological Sciences and its graduate programs, visit http://www.umbc.edu/biosci/.
The University of Maryland Baltimore County is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Affirmative Action. UMBC values gender, ethnic, and racial diversity; women, members of ethnic minority groups, and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. UMBC is the recipient of an NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to increase the participation of women in academic careers. Aug 30 2012 4:32pm The symposium will be held October 20, 2012; Abstracts due September 20, 2012: http://www.umbcsymposium.org
The Symposium invites mentor-approved contributions from undergraduates investigating any aspect of chemistry, biology and biochemistry. These advances will be disseminated in a daylong event that typically offers nearly 200 student contributions and gathers more than 400 beginning scientists, mentors, and other guests. The event features two poster sessions with posters judged by panels of participating mentors and other qualified attendees. Judges will rank first and second place posters in each category with non-financial awards presented at the event’s end. Registration is free and required. Light-fare refreshments and lunch will be provided. Jul 12 2012 3:11pm The College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences will host the Fifteenth Annual Summer Undergraduate Research Fest at UMBC on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 on the Seventh Floor of the Albin O. Kuhn Library. This event serves as a culminating activity for many students in grant-funded and other formal summer undergraduate research programs that are connected to UMBC and our College. At the event, the young researchers will give oral or poster presentations of their summer research to the UMBC community.
