University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North
Carolina State University. The position of Director will be a faculty
appointment at the senior level made by Duke University.
NESCent promotes collaborative research on fundamental synthetic
questions in evolutionary biology by supporting visiting scientists in
working groups and catalysis meetings (>500 scientists/year) and
resident sabbatical and visiting scholars and postdoctoral fellows. The
Center also has a large Informatics group and an active program in
Education and Outreach in evolutionary biology.
Applications and nominations should be submitted electronically to
nescent-director at duke.edu . Review of applications will begin December

animal learning. The Department of Psychology at TCU (www.psy.tcu.edu)
consists of 14 faculty members who oversee a Ph.D. program. Candidates
will be expected to supervise the research of graduate students, teach
classes at graduate and undergraduate levels, and show promise for
obtaining extramural funding for research. Review of applications will
begin immediately, and continue until the position is filled. Applicants
should send a cover letter, vita, representative publications, and three
letters of recommendation to Dr. Mauricio R. Papini, Department of

CONSERVATION BIOLOGIST
The Department of Biology at the College of William and Mary seeks
applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor
level in CONSERVATION BIOLOGY. The position is open to applicants
conducting research in any field or scale of conservation biology that
contributes to existing departmental strengths in molecular and
ecology/evolutionary biology. The ideal candidate will have strong
quantitative skills, a sustained research focus in conservation
biology, and the ability to integrate approaches across diverse levels
of biological organization. The successful candidate is expected to
establish and maintain an externally funded research program involving
both undergraduate and master's degree students. Teaching expectation
is an upper-level conservation biology course with lab, and an
introductory biology lecture course (genetics, organisms, ecology and
evolution) to alternate with another course in the candidate's area of
expertise (one course per semester). Postdoctoral research experience
is required, and previous experience teaching undergraduate courses
will be viewed favorably.
Review begins October 31, 2008 and will continue until an appointment
is made. Submit online a letter of application, curriculum vitae,
statements of research plans and teaching philosophy, and a list of
courses taken/taught relevant to conservation biology as a single PDF
document to http://jobs.wm.edu. Also arrange for three letters of
reference to be sent directly to Conservation Biology Search
Committee, Department of Biology, The College of William and Mary,
P.O. Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795. Information on the
