Primary Duties and Responsibilities

Teaching responsibilities could include contributing to introductory team-taught courses in genetics and cell biology and upper-level courses in advanced cell physiology, developmental biology and molecular genetics in nonhuman systems.  Opportunities exist for teaching general education seminar courses for first year students.  Support for developing an active undergraduate research agenda is provided through start-up funds, departmental support, regular access to the College’s Summer Research funds and Faculty Development funds, and through the Office of Institutional Advancement for help pursuing external grants.  Other duties will include advising students and participating in College and Department service activities.
