Description
Background:
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Great Lakes WATER Institute
invites applications for scientific leaders who will apply the rapidly
advancing fields of biotechnology, bioinformatics, and bio-molecular science
to the problems of freshwater supplies and security, and to the health of
human populations and ecosystems dependent upon them.
Supported by the
newly created UWM Freshwater Initiative and the Shaw Fund of the Greater
Milwaukee Foundation, the WATER Institute is recruiting 3 new scientist
positions in the broad areas of:
1) environmental genomics and molecular biology,
2) bioinformatics and the analysis of complex systems,
3) applied aquatic biotechnology and engineering.
This initiative will also support outstanding opportunities for graduate
students through 20 new Shaw Graduate Student Research Fellowships over the
next 5 years.
These permanent, full time, tenure track research positions are open at all
ranks for scientists with demonstrated ability or potential to establish
vigorous interdisciplinary research programs, with a willingness to join a
multi-disciplinary group of marine and freshwater scientists and with the
desire to bridge the interfaces between limnology and oceanography, and
molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics and engineering. The WATER
Institute is located within one of the country's major metropolitan regions
with ready access to scientific and technical resources within a diverse
array of major institutions of higher learning, industry and health science.
Interested individuals should visit our website, www.glwi.uwm.edu, which
provides more information about the Aquatic Environmental Biotechnology
initiative and other research programs at the WATER Institute.
