The position will involve teaching, service, and research contributions to both the Center and the Department, with the tenure line in the Department. The Center for Society and Genetics is an interdisciplinary program that seeks to understand and shape the complex interactions between the burgeoning genetic sciences, on the one hand, and the social world in which they are embedded, on the other.
