PALEOBOTANY: ESTELLA B. LEOPOLD ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIP AND CURATOR OF
PALEOBOTANY
The University of Washington is seeking applications for a tenure-track,
endowed faculty position to serve as academic curator of paleobotany at the
Burke Museum <http://www.burkemuseum.org/> and as a faculty member in either
the Department of Biology or the Department of Earth and Space Sciences.
Appointment is anticipated at the Assistant Professor rank. In exceptional
circumstances, appointment at the Associate or Full Professor level may be
considered for candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to mentoring
underrepresented students. Ph.D. required by date of appointment.
Because the Burke Museum maintains major holdings of Cenozoic floras,
preference will be given to candidates doing research on the Cenozoic, but
those researching other eras will be considered. Candidates should have a
record of cutting-edge research, curatorial expertise, guiding student
research based on collections, and promoting general scholarly and community
access to collections. The candidate will be expected to obtain external
research funding and to participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching.
Send (electronically) curriculum vitae, a description of research and
teaching interests, three letters of reference, and reprints (.pdf) of three
recent publications to Carolyn Zick (czick@u.washington.edu
<mailto:czick@u.washington.edu> ). Priority will be given to applications
received before 15 January 2006.

The University of Washington is building a culturally diverse faculty and
strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates. The
University of Washington is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employer.
