Carroll's appointment becomes effective Monday, Aug. 25. He replaces Donald Bianchi, who died in March, 1996. Paul Klinedinst has been serving as the college's interim dean in the meantime.
"We're delighted Dr. Carroll has chosen to come to Northridge," said Louanne Kennedy, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "He is a distinguished scholar with strong experience in science and math education. He has tremendous energy and he will be a great asset to the college and the university."
Carroll received his bachelor of science degree, with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry, from California State University, Sacramento, in 1968. He earned his doctorate from UC Davis in biochemistry in 1972. He completed postdoctoral training at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography at UC San Diego in 1975.
Carroll has been a faculty member in the department of biology of UC Riverside since 1976. He was an active member of the Interdisciplinary Genetics Graduate Program and the Biochemistry Graduate Program. Since 1993, he has held part-time administrative appointments as associate dean of the graduate division and associate dean of research.
His research interests are in the molecular aspects of animal fertilization and development. A major emphasis in Carroll's recent research involved gene closing and sequence analysis.
