SESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Sessional instructors are needed for three courses (BIOL 380, BIOL 433 and ZOOL 370) in Winter 2025. Please see below for details of the three courses. Interested parties should contact Corwin Sullivan, Associate Chair  at bioacu@ualberta.ca by the end of the day on Monday, December 9, 2024 with a CV and the names and email addresses of two references. 

BIOL 380 (Genetic Analysis of Populations)
Time: MWF 11:00-11:50
Enrolment cap: 150
Description: Application of molecular biology to the study of systematics, structure of natural populations, mating systems, and forensics. Among the topics discussed are molecular techniques used to detect genetic variation in natural populations, methods to construct phylogenies using molecular data, mathematical models of population structure, paternity analysis, and DNA fingerprinting. Prerequisite: BIOL 207. BIOL 221 recommended.
Notes: Students also participate in TA-led seminars.

BIOL 433 (Plant Animal Interactions)
Time: TR 12:30-1:50
Enrolment cap: 30
Description: Plants and animals are engaged in a diversity of ecological interactions, with implications for evolutionary trajectories, species coexistence, and the delivery of ecosystem services. This course requires active engagement, which may include discussion and debate. Lecture content will include a diversity of advanced topics in ecology and evolutionary biology with a focus on species interactions. Prerequisite: BIOL 331 or 332 or BOT 332 or ZOOL 371.
Notes: Lecture course only. This one could be taught from a variety of perspectives, tilting more towards botany or zoology depending on the instructor's expertise and interests.

ZOOL 370 (Ethological Mechanisms)
Time: MWF 9:00-9:50
Enrolment cap: 40
Description: Animal behavior from an ethological perspective, with emphasis on the mechanisms underlying a variety of behaviors. The material is intended to complement that of ZOOL 371. Prerequisite or corequisite: ZOOL 241 or 242 or PHYSL 210, or 212 or 214.
Notes: Students also participate in TA-led labs.
