Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowships
The College of the Holy Cross invites applications for two
postdoctoral teaching fellowships to begin in August 2010.
Candidates will normally be within three years of the doctorate and
must demonstrate commitment to undergraduate teaching as well as
scholarly achievement.
The fellowship appointments are for two years. Fellows teach three
courses per year and are expected to extend their doctoral research
under the guidance of a tenured faculty member. Fellows have access
to funds to support research and travel, are offered the
opportunity to enroll in courses offered by the Colleges of
Worcester Consortium's Certificate in College Teaching Program, and
also participate in a faculty development program that fosters
excellence in teaching and scholarship. These full-time fellowships
offer a competitive salary and include full benefits.
Applications will be accepted in two
disciplines:
The Department of Biology seeks an individual with research
interests in either behavioral energetics of terrestrial arthropods
(research sponsor: Dr. Ken Prestwich) or the biochemistry of
proteins related to cell adhesion, migration and/or
mechanotransduction (research sponsor: Dr. Rob Bellin). Teaching
opportunities will be in an area suitable to the candidate's
background and involve some combination of introductory or upper
level courses for biology majors as well as courses for non-science
majors.
