Initial appointment for 1 year with renewal for a second year depending on progress. Applicants should submit 1) a one-page cover letter explaining research experience, career goals, relevant skills, motivation for the position, and date they are available; and 2) a CV that includes contact information for three references to Steven Pennings at scpennin@central.uh.edu.
