[DIALOGnews] Tenure-track Biolgy position at Whitman College

[Susan Weiler]

Dear all,

If you are a biologist looking for a tenure-track position at a  
liberal-arts college with a strong science focus with terrific  
colleagues in a great location, please consider applying for this  
position. The job description is purposely vague -- they are looking  
for an outstanding candidate and there are several different fields  
that would complement the current faculty.
-- And if you are not interested yourself, please send it to any  
colleagues who might be. 

cheers, Sue
