Summary of proposed positions
Brief Description
Theme(6), Core(5) or both(2)
This position is important to maintain
teaching and research strength in this
important area. This position has been
advertised; the competition closes 30
September.
This is a replacement position and is a
key position for the rejuvenation of the
historically strong physiology group that
has had a key role in the development of
the Department’s research reputation
over the past 30 years.
This is the CRC Chair position that is
essential for the development of the
Biodiversity Research Centre and its
fundraising initiative. Dr. Dolph Schluter
has been proposed for this chair.
This is a Zoology Core Position
2000
This position will be created by the
awarding of a CRC chair to Dr. Snutch. It
is an important chair linking the Biotech
laboratory and cell biologists and
molecular physiologists in several
departments. It complements the strength
present in the C. elegans knock out
facility (Biotech and Zoology).
This shared position provides further

2002
This position and the one following form
a complementary pair of positions that
will enable us to really look ‘under the
hood’ at what is happening during the
evolutionary process. They are new
departures in strong areas of the
Department.
This is a very important position linking
evolutionary and developmental biology.
The objective is to hire someone looking
at how patterns of gene expression
change in response to evolutionary
selection.
This position and the one following will
allow us to maintain strength in
physiology while moving in new
directions.
The goal here is to strengthen whole
animal studies in the department using
recent advances in electronics and
communication to study unrestrained
animals in the field
This position, along with numbers 6 and
7 above bring the evolution group to
critical mass and serve to anchor
theoretical work in concrete observation.

13. Conservation Biology
This chair may or may not come to
zoology, depending on the interests of the
appointee. The area of non-invasive
observation in physiology that this
technical area represents will be an
increasing important research
methodology for whole animal research.
This program ties cell biologists and
molecular physiologists in Zoology,
Cord, neurosciences together. The area is
important and one in which we are
reaching critical strength
This position would round out the
ecology and environmental groups and is
a critical common area for both groups
and one that is of increasing political and
economic importance.
