G. de Pillis Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 07:18:45 -0700 Sabbatical and Post-Doc Opportunity Visiting Position in Mathematical Biology Harvey Mudd College Harvey Mudd College invites applications for visiting positions at all levels in mathematical biology. Start time and length of stay are highly flexible, and will depend on the joint needs of HMC and our potential visitors. Start time may be either Fall 2002 or Spring 2003. Length of stay may be from one semester to two years. HMC is part of the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of five undergraduate and two graduate institutions. Research activity at the Claremont Colleges in the quantitative life sciences has been increasing rapidly. For example, there is an ongoing project to develop mathematical models of cancer tumor growth and treatment. The ideal visitor will forge research collaborations at the Colleges, and will also contribute to the curriculum by teaching seminar courses in mathematical biology. Demonstrated excellence in teaching is essential for all candidates, as is an established record of scholarship in the mathematical sciences. Claremont is situated approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, at the foot of the San Gabriel mountains. The Colleges are within driving distance from several other institutions of higher learning, such as Caltech, UCLA, UC Riverside, and UC Irvine. The community is known for its tree-lined streets and village charm. It is an easy drive from Claremont to the cultural attractions of the greater Los Angeles area, as well as the ocean, mountains and deserts of southern California. Applicants should send a curriculum vita, a description of their teaching philosophy and accomplishments, a description of their current research program, and names and addresses of at least three persons as references. Only references of finalists for the position will be contacted. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, beginning June 1, 2002, and the positions will remain open until filled. Harvey Mudd College is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to the recruitment of candidates historically underrepresented on college faculties.
