We particularly encourage candidates who take an integrative approach to address the role of indirect effects in biological communities to apply. Appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with a start date of August 16, 2015.

The Biological Sciences department offers degrees at the B.S. (Biological Sciences, Medical Technology, and Microbiology), M.S. (Biological Sciences thesis and General Biology non‐thesis) and Ph.D. (Biological Sciences) levels. Research space in Harned Hall was recently renovated providing modern facilities for cutting-edge research. Additional details on the department can be accessed atwww.biology.msstate.edu. To apply, submit a CV, statement of research expertise and goals (2‐page maximum), a statement of teaching interests and competency (2-page maximum), three letters of reference, and reprints of up to 3 publications.
