Visiting Research Associate Biology

The Department of Biology is a large, unified department with strong undergraduate degrees, nationally ranked graduate programs, and world‑class research spanning the breadth of biological questions and experimental systems — from ecosystems to microbiology and developmental biology, from evolution to cell biology, from molecular biology to systems biology, bioinformatics, and genomics. It is always an exciting time for Biology — enormous advances in global genome analysis coupled with unprecedented developments in interdisciplinary research have made the 21st century the “Century of Biology”.
