Dear Dr. Yoder,

The Boston University Marine Program and Department of Biology recently advertised the availability of a tenure-track faculty position in marine genomics. As the first of an expected series of new faculty positions in Marine Science, we are now expanding the scope of this search to include investigators working in all aspects of marine ecology and evolutionary biology. We have revised the job advertisement accordingly (see below) and have extended the deadline for applications until 1 December 2015.

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in bringing this opportunity to the attention of potential applicants at your institution.

For more information and to apply, please visit AcademicJobsOnline at the following link: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6263
