Open Faculty Positions at Vanderbilt University

<x-flowed>Dear Plant Biologists,
There will be two new faculty searches in our department at
Vanderbilt for which plant biology applications are welcome. There
are not many plant biologists currently at Vanderbilt (mostly my lab
and the labs of evolutionary biologists like John Burke and David
McCauley), but we recognize the need to enhance our faculty with some
plant biologists. A key criterion for searches in our department has
always been the ability of an applicant to interact fruitfully with
existing members of the department.
The facilities at Vanderbilt for plant biology are excellent,
with a state-of-the-art greenhouse and dedicated space for plant
growth chambers. The Vanderbilt Medical School is immediately
adjacent to our department and has an excellent faculty working on
signal transduction, biophysics, imaging, biochemistry, pharmacology,
and other topics of relevance to plant biology.
If you are a plant biologist who can profit from interactions
with enthusiastic colleagues that might not be plant biologists, but
who are working on interesting topics that "cross hybridize" with
your own research, Vanderbilt might be the place for you.
I encourage any plant biologists to apply to one of the
positions described below.
Best wishes,
Carl Johnson

FACULTY POSITION
CELL BIOLOGY

The Department of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University seeks
candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty position in cell biology.
We are especially interested in candidates studying topics such as
protein trafficking, cell polarity, regulation of the cytoskeleton,
signal transduction or other areas that complement existing strengths
in our department and in any system (plant, animal, microbial). The
central criteria for this position are excellence in research and the
ability to teach undergraduate and graduate students with a high
level of effectiveness. For information about the Department, visit

should send a letter of application together with a curriculum vitae,
a statement of current and future research interests, three letters
of recommendation, teaching evaluations, if available, and selected
reprints to: Cell Biology Search Committee, Department of Biological
Sciences, Vanderbilt University, VU Station B 351634, Nashville, TN
37235-1634 U.S.A. Review of applicants will begin October 1, 2004,
and will continue until the position has been filled. Vanderbilt

Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.


FACULTY POSITION
MOLECULAR GENETICS

The Department of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University seeks
candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty position in molecular
genetics. While all applications are welcome, we are especially
