Hi all,

This may not apply to many of you directly but you may have colleagues, or know of graduate students who are close to graduating in this field that you could encourage to apply.

Salve currently has a Tenure-Track position open for an Animal Physiologist/Biologist, in particular we are most interested in an invert person who can work with marine organisms, in addition, if they look at either the behavior or neuro aspects it would be a plus. They would have a strong interest in working with Undergraduate students.

Salve is a great place to work, and the department is very close and works very well together. The students are bright and work hard. There are also opportunities for funding through either the RI EPSCoR programs, or through RI INBRE. Not to mention living in Newport RI which is a certainly a perk!

I have attached the job description below, if you know of anyone who could fit this description and be on the job market right now, please encourage them to apply, or contact me if they need any further information.

Thanks all!

Asst. Professor of Biology and Class Dean
