Villanova University Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cellular & Molecular Biology and Ecological-Evolut

Villanova University’s Department of Biology invites applications for two postdoctoral fellowship positions (50% research and 50% teaching), one in each of the general fields of Cellular & Molecular Biology and Ecological-Evolutionary-Organismal Biology. Our new colleagues will establish a productive research collaboration with an established faculty member and contribute to the vibrant curriculum of the department at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, teaching both at the introductory level (majors and/or non-majors) and in advanced course(s) in an area of expertise. We seek candidates who share our passion for establishing an equitable and inclusive learning and working environment for all students, staff, and faculty. We believe that enriching our diversity is central to our academic mission, and that diversity enhances our ability to engage more broadly with the world and to discover, design and deliver solutions to the challenges that face society. Applicants are invited to contact potential faculty mentors; visit “Departmental Postdocs” on the departmental website (https://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/artsci/biology.html) for additional information and a list of potential faculty mentors.

Review of applications will begin on 22 March 2021 and will continue until positions are filled.  The desired starting date is in August 2021.
