Postdoctoral Fellow Program
University of Richmond, School of Arts and Sciences
A campus-wide minority postdoctoral fellow program was recently established at the University of Richmond, School of Arts and Sciences. We are trying to recruit someone to contribute to a neuroscience project on the biology of neurodegenerative disease using a Drosophila model, with an emphasis on electrophysiological approaches to studying neural tissue. The research is funded by the NIH (Dr. John Warrick) allowing strong research support including extracellular and patch clamp recording equipment and training (Dr. Boland). This position would be particularly attractive to someone considering a job at a primarily undergraduate institution that has strong research expectations. Candidates already holding a post-doctoral position and with an interest in obtaining additional credentials and training for a career in a liberal arts institution are highly desirable. Approximately 75% effort would be placed on research with other time spent on meaningful and mentored teaching experiences at this top tier liberal arts college. Interaction with undergraduates will be expected and helpful to the candidate’s career plans. The ideal candidate will have published experience in fly genetics, neurodegenerative disease, or electrophysiology. The post-doctoral fellow would interact and collaborate with Drs. John Warrick and Linda Boland who are committed to providing strong mentorship in all respects of the post-doctoral fellow’s professional development. Residency of this fellowship is intended for the 2009-2010 academic year. Interested applicants should contact either John (jwarrick@richmond.edu) or Linda (lboland@richmond.edu). For more information about the University of Richmond Biology Department please see http://biology.richmond.edu/. The University of Richmond, a private and primarily undergraduate university, is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body and to supporting an inclusive campus community.

Visiting Scholar in Neuroscience for the 2009-2010 Lund-Gill chair at
Dominican University in River Forest, IL
The Lund-Gill chair was created to bring to campus each year an individual of the highest moral and intellectual reputation who can address themes and issues at the heart of the liberal arts and sciences. The position makes an ideal sabbatical semester; it involves leading a small weekly honors seminar, giving a public lecture, and enjoying the invigorating intellectual atmosphere on our scenic campus, just miles from downtown Chicago. Scholars from all disciplines within the neurosciences are encouraged to apply, especially those interested in the intersections between neuroscience, social policy, and morality.
Please send a letter of intent and curriculum vita to Dean JeffreyCarlson at jcarlson@dom.edu. Dominican University is an equal opportunity employer.
