The Department of Biology at Bates College seeks a neurobiologist to fill a one year sabbatical replacement position beginning in August 2012.

Candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. degree in Biology, Neuroscience or a related discipline by the beginning of the appointment. The college and the biology department are committed to enhancing the diversity and inclusion of the campus community and the curriculum. Candidates who can contribute to this goal are encouraged to apply and identify their strengths and experiences in this area.
