LABORDE
CHAIR APPLICATION GUIDELINES
The Office
of Sea Grant Development at Louisiana State University is accepting
nominations for the John P. Laborde Endowed Chair for Sea Grant
Research and Technology Transfer and Visiting Professor. Applicants
should be nationally or internationally recognized for contributions
in some area of marine or coastal research, technology transfer,
education or business development. Academically affiliated candidates
must hold the rank of full professor or its equivalent and will
carry similar faculty rank with the Chair appointment. Appointment
duration can vary between a few months to a maximum of one year
and dates, duration and compensation/support are negotiable; we
encourage nominations of individuals eligible for one-half or
a full year sabbatical from their institutions. Appointees will
perform work that directly supplements or complements activities
being conducted by the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program or
other sponsored research, technology transfer or education projects
administered by the LSU Office of Sea Grant Development. Scholarly
work in research or teaching would also be encouraged with appropriate
discipline-based academic departments at one of Louisiana’s
higher education institutions. Those interested in nominating
individuals should confirm a nominee’s interest and submit
a nomination letter with the candidate’s curriculum vitae,
summary of expertise/interests, proposed activity; preferred appointment
dates and salary requirements. Nominators should also indicate
their willingness to host and provide administrative support for
their nominee. Although this opportunity is open until filled
we plan to review nominations after September 30, 2007. For additional
