Faculty Openings in the Biology Department
Spencer T. Olin Professor in Evolutionary Biology
The Department of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis, seeks applications for an endowed
professorship, made possible by a gift from the Spencer T. and Ann W. Olin Foundation. We seek an
innovative and accomplished scientist whose research interests are in evolutionary biology. We encourage
applicants at both the associate and full professor level and from all areas of evolutionary biology,
including evolutionary genomics, population genetics, evolution/development and evolutionary ecology.
Research approaches could be theoretical, experimental or involve natural systems. This endowed
professorship will be supported with a generous allotment of space and start-up funds. The tenured
Spencer T. Olin Professor will establish a vigorous teaching and research program and will interact with
faculty across the Biology department and within the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences.
Opportunities exist for interaction with the Washington University Center for Genome Sciences, the
Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, the Missouri Botanical Garden, the St. Louis Zoo and the
Washington University Tyson Research Center, a 2,000-acre field station located 20 miles from the
Danforth Campus.
Consideration of applicants will begin on November 2, 2009 and continue until the position is filled.
Letters of application, accompanied by curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests,
reprints of up to three selected papers, and the names and affiliations of three persons who can be contacted
for letters of recommendation can be sent either electronically or by mail to:
