**In honor of the excellent and lasting contributions of Professor Kenneth K. Chew to shellfish aquaculture**, an endowed professorship was established in 2004.  The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS) at the University of Washington is seeking candidates for a two- to six-month collaborative visit to our department beginning as early as summer 2016.  

Candidates must have a background in a scientific field related to aquaculture. The goal of this professorship is to enhance aquaculture related science via an active collaboration with one or more [faculty members](https://fish.uw.edu/faculty-research/) and graduate students within SAFS. In addition to research, candidates are expected to present a departmental seminar and provide other lectures on their scientific interest.

We are primarily seeking established scientists that have made significant contributions to their field, however junior candidates will be considered.
