looking
for new
professors
by Ryan Flaherty
staff writer
In order to keep up with the ever
growing student population, Behrend
is in the process of interviewing for
new teaching positions in the School
of Science.
The applicants are contending for
assistant professor positions in
computer science, mathematics,
physics, and biology. Each
department has narrowed down the
selection of possible professors to
approximately three in each
department. All of the candidates
presented a seminar that was available
to both the faculty and student
population, and which gave a
description of what their respective
studies are focused on.
All new faculty members will begin
in the upcoming fall semester. The
new positions will supplement the
current teaching population as well as
fill in for those professors that have
retired
"They [the new professors] make
the college, and we are very excited
to have them join us," commented Dr.
Roger Knacke, director of School of
Science. "We are strengthening our
faculty, broadening our abilities, as
well as strengthening our courses."
Which means that besides inheriting
classes already known to Behrend,
some of these professors will be
introducing new courses as well.
There are varied new classes
available in the math department,

Particle and computational physics
will be added to the physics
department. Microbiology, the study
of bacteria and viruses, and
physiology are a few of the courses
that will be covered in the biology
department. And finally the new

Behrend is far from done. Interviews
are held every year to accommodate
the steadily increasing student
population at Behrend.
