Qualifications:
Organisms and Evolution laboratory is a second-semester laboratory course designed for biology majors and others requiring a rigorous introductory treatment of the subject. This laboratory is a systematic introduction to all forms of life, covering all three domains (formerly five kingdoms), from bacteria and protozoa, through fungi, plants, and animals. To account for life's unity and diversity, the guiding principle for the course is the concept of evolution. Biology 2 and its Laboratory build upon the cellular and molecular foundation given in Biology 1 (which is pre-requisite for Biology 2), and assumes knowledge of hereditary principles, both Mendelian and molecular. Through the study of the molecular evidence, morphology, physiology, development, and behavior of each type of organism, we provide a broad understanding of the evolutionary origins and phylogenetic relationships of all forms of life. Required for biology majors and prerequisite to ALL upper-division courses.

This laboratory will be taught on Thursday from 1:15 - 5:15 pm during the Spring 2021 term and will be taught remotely.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in a relevant area of biology, a successful record of teaching experience in biology at the undergraduate level, and experience with online/hybrid instruction.
