Analysis of Anatomy Education Based Job Openings

Due to the increasing demand of healthcare educators, the necessity of programs with integration of pedagogy with healthcare sciences is imminent. However, there are relatively few programs integrating anatomy courses and pedagogical programs. By analyzing the current job market, professional programs can gain a sense of the need for anatomy professional graduates capable of teaching in a variety of areas. This study looked to provide a current job scope of the positions related to anatomy education. Data were gathered from open job descriptions over a one year timeframe. Sources for these anatomy‐related jobs and careers in higher academia came from open positions listed on the applicable websites of the American Association of Anatomists (AAA), the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA), and HigherEdJobs.com. The search focused on professions listed under the descriptors of “anatomy professor” and “anatomy education.” The categories collected were the level of position (instructor, assistant, associate, or full‐time), faculty type (tenure or non‐tenure track), type of institution (undergraduate, graduate, or professional school), required qualifications, required years of experience, expected courses to teach, and research. Data were categorized and frequency counts were tabulated. In total, 122 open positions were reviewed from postings listed between November 2016 to November 2017. Of the jobs listed, 70% were anatomy related (n = 86), and 30% were not directly related to anatomy (n = 36). Of the anatomy related jobs, 44% were tenure‐track, 7% were non‐tenure track, and 49% did not specify. Also, half of the anatomy jobs (n = 43) had research based requirements with 11 of these requiring grant funding for projects. Predominantly, the anatomy job listings were posted from undergraduate institutions (59%) seeking candidates to lecture anatomy along with other biology courses (67%), 10 positions required teaching a biology‐related lab, with six of the openings being cadaveric dissection labs. Fifty‐two percent of the anatomy education positions were looking to fill assistant professor roles, 16% seeking instructor positions, 22% associate professors, and about 10% did not specify. Thirty‐eight percent of these positions were specified as full‐time roles. Within the anatomy‐related occupations, the majority of educational positions required a PhD degree or equivalent (n = 66). Based on the brief window of review, there are multiple anatomy based job vacancies, with the majority being research‐affiliated anatomy assistant roles and some of those requiring prospective grant funding. Future directions for this study are to examine the type of research required for grant funding, either bench or educational research, which was often not specified in these brief descriptions. Also, examination of the job listings on the type of teaching methods such as active‐learning, lecture, etc. would provide insight to incorporate certain pedagogical classes into PhD programs. Additionally, the courses required of potential faculty members to teach can be analyzed so that PhD programs can fulfill the demands of the market.Support or Funding InformationThis study was not funded.This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.

Use of Human‐Altered Habitats by Bull Sharks in a Florida Nursery Area

AbstractBull Sharks Carcharhinus leucas in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, have been documented to frequently occur in human‐altered habitats, including dredged creeks and channels, boat marinas, and power plant outfalls. The purpose of this study was to examine the short‐term movements of age‐0 and juvenile Bull Sharks to quantify the extent to which those movements occur in altered habitats. A total of 16 short‐term active acoustic tracks (2–26 h) were carried out with 9 individuals, and a 10th individual was fitted with a long‐term coded transmitter for passive monitoring by fixed listening stations. Movement and activity space statistics indicated high levels of area reuse over the span of tracking (hours to days). All but one shark usedaltered habitat at some point during tracking, such that 51% of all tracking positions occurred in some type of altered habitat. Of the sharks that used altered habitat, the mean (±1 SD) percent of positions within altered habitat was 66 (±40)%. Furthermore, tracks for 3 individuals indicated selection for altered habitats. The single passively monitored Bull Shark was detected in power plant outfalls almost daily over a 5‐month period, providing the first indication of longer‐term fidelity to thermal effluents. Use of one dredged creek was influenced by local salinity, the tracked sharks dispersing from the altered habitat when salinity declined. The affinity of young Bull Sharks to altered habitats in this system could help explain their reported accumulation of a variety of harmful contaminants, which could negatively affect their health and survival.Received July 27, 2012; accepted November 28, 2012

Parytet płci w ujęciu prawnoporównawczym

The purpose of this article is to present one of the legal method of so-called “compensatory privilage”, known as parity of gender, which is used to increase the number of women in representative organs elected by people. Firstly, there are analised from the theoretical perspective diff erent methods of quota systems which are used in legal systems all over the world, especially election quotas, such as parities in purely sense, quotas, “zipping”, “twinning” and all-women shortlists (AWS). Secondly, the issue of parities is described in connection with the law of the European Union and the international law, with the general conclusion that both legal systems allow countries to introduce parity regulations to their legal systems but any of them requires to do so. Detailed discusion of quota regulations existing in legal systems in France, Spain, Belgium, Portugal and Italy suggests the thesis that success of quota regulations depends on few elements such as existing of legal rule which guaratees not only appropriate percent of positions on electoral lists for women but also guarantees relatively high positions for them on that lists. Furthermore, the issue of sanctions taken when political parties break quota rules is of a great importance. Last but not least, the article is presented the problem of uncontitutionality of the election quotas in Poland. Especially many members of the polish constitutional law doctrine claim that quotas are contradictory to such constitutional principles as the principle of equality before the law for all citizens, the principle of equality of rights between men and women, the princile of free elections and the freedom of political parties.

Placement Opportunities for Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics Professionals in Industry and Government/Military Positions

During the period from January 2002 through December 2002, the Placement Service of Human Factors and Ergonomics Society distributed announcements describing 141 new positions available for human factors and ergonomics professionals. This paper describes placement opportunities for HF and ergonomics professionals in Industry and Government/Military (N=117). The attributes of the position descriptions examined include: employment sector, major field of study, degree requirements, required work experience, salary, geographic location, travel, and areas of expertise. The type of industry seeking most employees was Consulting at 32%. The most frequently specified major field of study was Human Factors (N=73). Forty-nine percent of positions describe the master's degree as the minimum requirement. The geographical areas with the most jobs were East Central (N=20) and the Mid Atlantic (N=17). Finally, the area of expertise most frequently requested by employers was Human Computer Interaction (N=23) and Human Factors/Ergonomics (N=32) was the most commonly specified job expertise/function.

Research productivity and impact of men and women in psychology departments of australian universities, 1975-1977

Abstract Women held only 15.5 percent of positions at the rank of lecturer or above in the Psychology Departments of Australian universities between 1975 and 1977, and they were particularly underrepresented at senior levels of appointment. Different criteria may have been employed in the recruitment of men and women academics, since a woman was more likely to hold a PhD degree than a man in the same department and at the same level of appointment. However, publication and citation rates were similar for matched men and women. The underrepresentation of women in university positions is discussed in the context of factors that differentially control role attainment and career development by men and women.
